Key Takeaways:
1. Size Matters: Cut a patch that is twice the size of the original hole or tear for effective coverage.
2. Steady Hands: Carefully unfold the patch underwater and place it smoothly over the damage.
3. Added Security: For extra peace of mind, repeat the process with a second patch over the first.
Step-by-Step Process:
1. Prepare the Patch: Cut a piece of patch material that is twice the size of the original hole or tear.
2. Apply the Underwater Cement: Evenly spread the underwater cement glue on one side of the patch.
3. Submerge and Apply: Gently fold the patch and submerge it underwater. As you approach the damaged area, carefully unfold the patch and place it over the hole or tear.
4. Secure the Patch: Firmly hold the patch in place by applying pressure for 2-3 minutes.
5. For Added Security (Optional): Repeat steps 1-4 using a patch that is twice the size of the original patch. Apply pressure for 3-5 minutes to secure.
