Learn how Aquaseal FD Works

Step 01

Clean and prep the area. Thoroughly clean and dry the surface around the tear. Remove dirt, oils, and debris to ensure the adhesive bonds well.

Step 02

Apply Aquaseal FD. Squeeze a thin, even layer of Aquaseal FD over the tear or hole. Use a brush or applicator to spread it slightly beyond the damaged area.

Step 03

Let it cure. Lay the item flat and allow the adhesive to cure for 8–12 hours. For faster results, use Cure Accelerator to speed up the dry time to about 2 hours.

Step 04

Get back out there. Once fully cured, the flexible, waterproof seal is ready for action — so your gear is too.

QUESTIONS?

How long does Aquaseal FD take to cure?

Aquaseal FD cures in 8–12 hours under normal conditions. For faster results, use Cure Accelerator (Cotol-240) to reduce cure time to about 2 hours.

Can I use Aquaseal FD to repair my sleeping pad?

Yes, Aquaseal FD works well for repairing punctures or tears in sleeping pads. For best results, clean the surface using isopropyl alcohol, apply Aquaseal FD and let cure for about 30 minutes, then cover the adhesive with a Tenacious Tape Hex Patch, and allow it to cure for 8-12 hours before use.

Can I thin Aquaseal FD for easier application?

Yes, you can thin Aquaseal FD using GEAR AID Cure Accelerator to speed up cure time significantly. Avoid using other solvents, as they may compromise performance. If you don't want to mix anything, then check out Seam Grip WP, our thinner waterproof adhesive and sealant.

Can I use Aquaseal FD to seal tent seams or floors?

No, for sealing tent seams use Seam Grip WP or Seam Grip FC, and for tent floors, use Seam Grip TF (for polyurethane-coated tents) or Seam Grip SIL (for silicone-coated tents). Aquaseal FD is better suited for flexible gear like waders, drysuits, and sleeping pads.

Can I use Aquaseal FD to repair a leaking water bladder?

While Aquaseal FD is inert once cured and likely safe, it is not food-grade, or tested for prolonged exposure to ingestible substances. For repairs involving water bladders, we recommend using our Flex Patch (made of durable, stretchy TPU), which have been third-party lab tested and confirmed as non-toxic and safe for contact with food and drink.
