How to use the product:

• It is important to have a minimum distance of 2 cm between the edge of the sticker and any tears.
• Clean the damaged area with fresh water and allow to dry completely. Place the damaged area on a firm and flat surface, such as a book, so that you can work on it. The tear should be flattened and closed as much as possible.  

• Peel off the adhesive protector paper, being careful not to let the adhesive come into contact with your fingers or any other objects. Apply the sticker over the tear, avoiding any rough areas like stitching lines on the wetsuit.

•  Press down evenly on the surface of the sticker with your fist to ensure that the patch is securely attached to the tear.

• Use a heavy object with a firm and flat surface, such as a thick book, to place weight on the sticker and allow the adhesive to dry naturally for at least 24 hours before returning the wetsuit to the water.
