a.
Cut patch to one of three sizes that will overlap damaged area with a margin of at least 3/4 inch (19 mm) on
all sides.
b.
Place board under damaged area for a flat working surface.
c.
Buff patch and damaged area of cab cover with a wire brush.
d.
Center patch over damaged area. Apply adhesive to patch and patch edge with a cleaning brush, making a circle on
cab cover.
e.
Lift patch. Apply adhesive to area of cab cover inside adhesive circle.
f.
Allow adhesive to dry until tacky.
g.
Press cement surfaces together firmly with roller while tacky.
h.
Seal by wiping edge of patch with cleaning brush.
NOTE
The watershed patch has the top edge angled to give a roof effect. Because the roof-type top
edge sheds water, the patch lasts longer than a rectangular patch. For watershed patch repair,
do Step 3.
3.

a.
Cut patch large enough to overlap 2 inches (5 cm) on all sides of area to be repaired. Allow for 3/4 inch (19 mm)

angle.

stitching no more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the edge.
