Product Description

Mc Nett Gear Aid Seam Grip WP Waterproof Sealant & Adhesive
- 30ml / 1oz Tube

Seam Grip WP by Gear Aid is a gear repair kit in a tube that goes above & beyond to keep moisture out. Use it as a tent seam sealer, sleeping pad fixer or equipment rebuilder. It’s also a flexible repair adhesive that works on all types of fabrics & surfaces, including neoprene, PVC, rubber, leather, vinyl & synthetics.

Seam Grip WP goes beyond patching holes. As a permanent waterproof sealant, it keeps outdoor enthusiasts dry & comfortable. It waterproofs tent seams, improves traction & offers abrasion resistance, too.  Seal up to 3.65 m / 12 ft of tents, tarps, & awnings with a single 28 g / 1 oz tube.

Use Seam Grip WP  to permanently seal the seams of tents, rainflies, & even waterproof jackets. To apply, set up your tent or lay down your outdoor gear so you can seal the inside seams. Add on the applicator brush, then press to apply to the seams. One tube will seal up to 3.65m / 12 feet of seams. Leave the item to cure overnight. Once cured, you’ll have a clear, glossy seal that flexes with fabric, & stands up to extreme temperatures so you can go anywhere. It’s also an excellent adhesive for repairing rips & holes in tents, tarps, awnings, inflatables, & almost all other nylon, canvas, & vinyl outdoor gear.

So take a tube of Seam Grip WP wherever you go, because you never know when gear will rip, leak or fall apart. Save your gear

Instructions:

NOTE: Wear gloves during application to avoid getting on your skin.

Seam Sealing:

Roughen & clean surfaces with rubbing alcohol. Apply Seam Grip to both surfaces. Allow to dry (cure) 15 minutes, then join (clamp or tape) surfaces together overnight.

PREP:  Clean seams on used material with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or Mc Nett  Cotol-240™plus Cleaner & Cure Accelerator.

• APPLY:  Apply a thin film of Seam Grip to inside of the seam (one coat).
• DRY:  Let dry overnight (approximately 8-12 hours—may be longer in low humidity). For 2-4 hour dry time, mix small batches of Seam Grip with Cotol-240™plus. Apply with brush.
• CLEAN UP:  Uncured Seam Grip can be partially removed with a coarse cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol. For easiest clean up wear disposable rubber gloves. Seam Grip will dry (cure) & flake off hands. Washing hands in soap & water will accelerate curing.
• STORAGE:  Advance contents to tube neck & replace original cap securely. Store partially used tube in freezer.

Tear & Hole Repairs:

Apply just enough Seam Grip to cover the hole & spread ca. 6 mm / 0.23in beyond. Allow to dry (cure) level overnight. For 2-4 hour cure time, mix Seam Grip with Cotol-240™plus before applying.

Seam Tape Tips:

• If a small section has peeled use Seam Grip to re-attach it. If the tape seems to be failing everywhere, remove & discard it, then clean the seams with Cotol-240™plus or isopropyl alcohol & re-seal with Seam Grip.
• Seam Grip can be diluted with Cotol-240 plus or Xylene. Mixing with Xylene will only dilute the adhesive. Xylene will not provide a faster cure time.
• Seam Grip is a moisture cured adhesive, meaning the more moisture present, the quicker it dries.
• When applied to clothing & cured, our adhesives are permanent & cannot be removed
• You can color Seam Grip using Ceramic pigment found at most craft stores. Just mix it directly into the Seam Grip.
• Once cured Seam Grip is inert.
• Seam Grip will flake away naturally off your hands in a few days. You can help this process somewhat by washing your hands with soap & water & using a disposable shop rag to remove as much of the adhesive as possible. We do not recommend using any type of solvent on your skin.

How to prevent Seam Grip from hardering in the tube:

Seam Grip is a moisture-cure adhesives. As soon as you pop the top on the tube & expose the adhesive to the moisture in the air, the countdown begins. Unfortunately, you are unable to stop the curing process, but you can slow it down by storing the adhesive in a dry environment like your freezer. We typically recommend storing as follows:

Begin by advancing the contents to the tube neck to remove any air that may be trapped in the tube. Next wipe the tube threads clean to prevent the cap from sticking. Next, cap tightly. Next, place the adhesive in a plastic zip-lock bag. Next, store the adhesive in a dry environment like your freezer. When ready to use, run the tube under warm water for about a minute.

While this will not stop the adhesive from curing, it will help slow things down.

We give an un-opened tube of adhesive a two-year shelf life. The „batch-number“  will be crimped into the bottom of the tube. The adhesive is typically good for two years past the date of filling.
