Using the Tyre Boot Kit is easy. First, locate the tear on your tubed tyre's sidewall or tread. Then, pick the appropriate cut of Hypalon from the 8 pieces in the kit. Apply the glue from the tube onto the tear and the Hypalon piece. Press the Hypalon firmly onto the tear to ensure a good bond. Wrap the double - sided velcro retention strap around to keep everything in place. As for maintenance, keep the kit in a cool, dry place. Check the glue periodically as it may dry out over time. Also, make sure the Hypalon pieces are not damaged or torn. When using the kit, be careful not to get glue on your hands or clothes. And always test the repair before you start cycling again to make sure it holds up.
