REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Carefully sort mats to be repaired. Be sure mats to be repaired are clean. Mats with
tears longer than 12" are not recommended for repairs.
2. Place mat on a flat surface, rubber side up.
3. Using the wire brush, buff the area around the tear.
4. Cut a strip of repair rubber slightly longer than the tear to be repaired.
5. Carefully place the edges of the tear together so that they do not bulge or pucker.
If the tear extends to the border, be sure that the edges of the border meet evenly. It may help to
"spot glue" the edges together on longer tears or at the border to insure the edges remain
in proper position.
6. Position the repair strip on top of the tear. Keep the strip centered over the tear
as much as possible. Beginning at one end, glue a small area (approx. 1") of the repair rubber
to the mat. Apply glue sparingly. Using the handle of the wire brush, press the repair rubber down
for a few seconds and then release. Repeat over all areas where the glue was applied. Continue until
you can feel the glue has hardened - approximately 30 seconds. Repeat until the repair is complete.
7. When the repair is completed, check edges to be sure all edges are securely glued
down.
8. Place weight on top of repaired area. Allow to
sit for 10-15 minutes.
9. Inspect the mat to be sure mat lays flat and does not create a tripping hazard.
