Airtime Kite 60 inches of 2 inch wide kite repair tape. Dacron fabric with a pressure sensitive adhesive meant for marine application. Taping minor damage is always the first choice when fixing a kite yourself. Tape is easy to use, the kite is ready for use immediately, and if you don't do it perfect you can pull it off and try again. We recommend you tape both sides of a damage panel and that you check the tape after every session to make sure it hasn't released from the fabric.  This tape can be sewn in for a permanent fix.

If black isn't your color we recommend using white Dacron repair tape and coloring it in with magic markers.  

Dacron Tape, also called Insignia Tape or Mark-Cloth, should be used to repair all cuts in the leading edge and struts of an inflatable kite. The dacron tape will provide the strength needed to repair small cuts without creating a huge mess to undo later if you decide to get the repair done professionally. Dacron tape can also be used in a pinch if traveling to fix small cuts in the sail to keep you on the water.

Shop Note: Leading edge and strut cuts should always be professionally repaired and stitched.  Dacron tape can be used as a quick fix to get you back on the water.

Instructions:

1. Clean area of kite (can use Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol)
2. Lay out area to be repaired flat on a table and remove all wrinkles
3. Round corners of the tape
4. Place tape over cut.  Do not pull or stretch the tape.  Tape should go beyond the cut by at least 1/2"
5. Match another piece of tape on opposite side if possible
