This playground rubber repair kit is an easy DIY solution that quickly solves a small problem before it turns into a big one.
The patch kit is a great remedy for rubber playground surfaces that are damaged, torn, have holes or have shrunk due to freezing and thawing.
What binder do I pick? Aromatic binders are fine for 90% of the applications. They slightly amber the color of the EPDM granules. Pick Aliphatic binders if you care about the ambering effect or you are patching a pool surface or splash pad. This article goes into the difference between Aromatic and Aliphatic binders in more detail. If you are not sure, please call one of our techs at 203-659-0456

Instructions
You will need: A utility knife, a bucket for mixing, a paint brush, a rounded trowel, soapy water and gloves
- Make sure you pick a dry day to patch your rubber running track surface. We recommend over 40 degrees.
- Using a sharp utility knife, create a clean cut around the area you would like to patch. When cutting the area, make sure to cut the edges of the area at a 45-degree angle. This will create a stronger bond at the edges of the patch.
- Clean the area of all loose granules and debris.
- Use the primer your received in your package to prime the edges and the base layer.
- Right after you prime, pour all of the rubber granules into the bucket and mix the entire content of the binder in a bucket or lined cardboard box.
- Mix the content thoroughly. Make sure that all the rubber granules are coated evenly with the binder. Use the entire amount of binder and the entire amout of rubber that we sent you.
- Using a rounded trowel spread the mix onto the area you are patching.
- Use a mixture of water and liquid hand soap to lubricate the trowel after each pass.
- Secure the area and let cure for 24 to 48 hours.
