Rapp-it Bandages are simple to use and require very little preparation:

• Once the leaking area is identified, shut down relevant pipes or hoses immediately.
• Prepare the surface by cleaning the damaged area thoroughly, disposing of any foreign bodies. A clean roughened surface helps result in a successful repair.
• Put on enclosed latex gloves.
• Apply Rapp-it Steel Putty to the leak site and mould.
• Open foil pouch and immerse Rapp-it Bandage in temperate fresh water for 10 seconds to activate. The entire contents must be used once the package is opened.
• Apply Rapp-it Bandage around the damaged area, extending up to 50mm (2") either side of the leak to ensure complete coverage. It is important that the bandage is applied quickly as curing begins once it is taken out of the water.Whilst wrapping, pull each layer tightly and firmly, using your hand to mould and squeeze the layers together in a tightening motion.
• Continue to apply pressure by this action during application and upon completion.
• Allow 30 minutes for Rapp-it Bandages to set rock-hard.
