Description
Gear Aid Aquasure FD Urethane Adhesive – For Drysuit & Wetsuit Repairs
Aquasure Product Description, Aquasure® permanently bonds, seals and waterproofs hundreds of materials. This unique formula is the industry standard for maximum bond strength, abrasion resistance, flexibility and waterproofing.
Physically, Aquasure is a high viscosity gel that cures to an extremely elasticated, clear urethane rubber. Since it is a thermoset urethane, cured Aquasure is impervious to solvents (such as petrol) or extremes of temperature (-40ºC to+200ºC).
Aquasure is ideal for bonding neoprene, fabrics, latex, trilaminates, PVC, Hypalon®, natural and synthetic leather, foams, composites and many plastics. This specialized formula is ideal for sealing stitching and reinforcing high stress areas on wet suits, dry suits, Hypalon and PVC boats and hundreds of other items.
Aquasure also makes an ideal abrasion patch for high wear areas such as knees, seats and luggage bottoms. Seals and repairs made with Aquasure generally last the life of the item. The Surface should be clean and dry surface, using Cotol 240 or isopropyl alcohol. Non-fabric surfaces such as latex should first be keyed with sandpaper, and then cleaned.
Repair all types of gear failures with Aquasure FD. Its a clear, waterproof urethane adhesive that comes in a handy 28 g tube. After it cures, it becomes a flexible, rubber glue that is ideal for fixing outdoor gear thats in constant motion.
So, when fishing waders rip on the river or a wetsuit tears while diving through prickly corals, don€™t throw it away. Fix it with Aquasure FD. Its also useful as a seam sealer. Dont let rips, tears, and holes stop you. Patch it up with the all-purpose Aquasure FD and stay dry.
