Tear Aid patches are the best repair material to seal leaks, small cuts, and blowouts in bladders. These patches are self stick (peel & stick) and can be used to patch any bladder material or color. The specially formulated adhesive is incredibly durable, making for a quick repair. Patches can be used on leading edge or strut bladders and also work in a pinch on the sail. The patch can be custom cut into many smaller patches for smaller repairs or pinholes. This pack has 1 foot of Tear Aid in an easy-to-display form at a discounted price.
