Shop Note: This is the only repair tape that should be used on the sail of a kiteboarding kite. If the sail color is black, black sail tape will match the best. Any other color will look best with white tape. It is nearly impossible to match a color to sail tape because of the wide variety of colors and the fact that sail colors fade from sun exposure. Large cuts should always be professionally repaired, but this repair tape can save your session and is a must have item when traveling.

Instructions:

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