Expedition Packraft Repair Kit

The Expedition Repair Kit

Includes everything that you need to be confident that you can repair your boat completely on extended trips and still meet your expedition objectives and find your way home. Includes:

• 1.5L Sea to Summit Lightweight Dry Bag - The entire repair kit is packed into this waterproof and lightweight drybag to keep your repair materials together.

• Aquaseal with Cure Accelerator (Reduces aquaseal cure time from 8-12 hours to 2-3 hours) - For major stitch repairs, pinholes, and as a general adhesive for most water based products.

• Tenacious Tape (1 foot roll) - For repairing most fabric tears, including seats, inflatable floors, pin holes on the outside of the boat, and for backing major tears from the inside of the boat if you have a Cargo Fly. It is also ideal for jacket, tent repairs, and on all other ripstop nylon fabrics. 

• Patch N Go Roll (3 foot roll) - This is the main proper repair patch for rips and tears of the boat, and is applied to the outside.

• 2 x Mini Roll of Duct Tape - 2” x 50” - For general repairs, ideal for floor rips. On the Forager and other self-bailing boats these strips of tape can be used to cover the bailing holes on the outside of the boat to streamline the hull for flat water paddling. Tape residue can be removed later with alcohol swabs or liquid stove fuel. 

• Spare Valve Cap - For the main valve and some inflatable floors.

• Spare Nozzle - For seats, some backrests, and some inflatable floors. 

• Standard Zipper Lubricant (2 Mini's)- For lubricating cargo fly, bow bag and drysuit zippers. 

• 4 x Alcohol Swabs - For cleaning surfaces prior to patching.

• Cutting Suture Needle and 1m attached thread - Suture is used for stitching large rips, the cutting needle is ideal for punching through tough Alpacka fabric and the pre-attached thread has no knot so it passes through the needle hole seamlessly. **This is a medical grade suture kit that is sterile and can be used on yourself in the event of a medical emergency**

• Mini Roll of Tyvek Tape - Used for quick hull repairs. 

• Aquaseal UV - This is a quick-curing, clear-drying adhesive that bonds directly to neoprene, nylon, and GORE-TEX® fabrics. It dries instantly when exposed to sunlight or UV light.
