How to use INSIGNIA self-adhesive sailcloth
1️⃣ Thoroughly clean and dry the area to be repaired.
2️⃣ Cut a piece slightly larger than the damaged area.
3️⃣ Round the corners to reduce the risk of peeling.
4️⃣ Gradually remove the backing paper and apply the fabric.
5️⃣ Press firmly and smooth the entire surface.
For a larger tear, we recommend, whenever possible, applying one piece on each side of the sail.
