Product Description
4" x 100 ft Flex Patch Tape
Finally - a neat, fast permanent and inexpensive way to mend holes, cuts, and tears in most mobile home bottom closure materials is at hand. Flex Patch is a time tested mending product that matches the appearance and texture of bottom board closure materials used by most manufacturers in the mobile home industry today. Flex Patch is a woven polyethylene film currently meeting all requirements for use as bottom board by the mobile home industry.
Uses:
Repair holes, cuts and tears resulting from plumbing repairs, weak seams and damage by cats and other animals quickly, neatly and permanently. Flex-Mend™ is also waterproof and unaffected by cold and can be applied in below-freezing temperatures and will hold regardless of the season.
It has been solid-coated with specially formulated, high tech adhesive, and has an easily removed release liner.
Polyethylene underbelly is a black tarp-like material. This material is found on the bottom of most manufactured homes built since the 80's. If your underbelly is more rigid like a board this is not the correct item.
Very few tapes will stick to the underneath material of a mobile home, much less stick permanently. Duct tape will only work for a short period of time. If you want to eliminate taping the rips and tears in your underbelly over and over again, use Flex Patch tape.
Repair Process:
- Ensure damaged area is clean and dry. If there insulation hanging out push it back into the hole
- Before cutting Flex Patch be sure to leave at least 2-3 inches to overlay onto undamaged area
- Slowly remove Flex Patch from the corner of the liner, careful not to remove entire liner yet. Be extra careful to not allow the tape to adhere to itself.
- Place exposed tape to edge of undamaged area where patch should start.
- Slowly remove liner and smooth edges along repaired seam to ensure full adhesion. Press firmly to ensure a full adhesion contact is made. Warming it with a hair dryer will help.
- Do not try to remove Flex Patch once applied.
