Step 1: Find the hole or damaged area and use a solution of warm water and soap to apply it to the airtrack with a brush. This makes it easy to identify any broken spots in the airtrack and mark the area.
Step 2: Clean and dry around the repair area, then use masking tape to mark an area equal to the size of the patch you plan to use.
Step 3: Apply PVC glue to the patch and marked areas on the airtrack.
Step 4: Let the glue dry for 2 minutes. It should feel sticky. Then remove the masking tape and prepare to apply the patch.
Step 5: Attach the patch to the glued area, making sure to apply a layer of semi-dry glue on the airtrack and patch.
Step 6: Use a brush or other tool to apply pressure to the patch, making sure the glue is completely spread throughout the area and fully bonded.
Step 7: After the patch is completely bonded, let the glue dry in a warm, dry place for 2-3 hours.
Step 8: Re-inflate the airtrack using a soapy water solution and check the patch for leaks. If the patch leaks, deflate it and re-fix any leaking areas.
