*Notes:
-
While the SWAYGO PACK concept and materials are waterproof, you should
always place additional protection with your gear when using the pack.
As a example, if you have a nice digital camera...pad it and place it in a
waterproof container anyway. The SWAYGO PACKS are intended to keep
water and mud out while CLOSED. The more it is opened, the more
likely one can introduce water and mud and the possibility of damaging the
packs contents.
-
The Quick Strap is not climbing rated and therefore
should not be used as a component or replacement to your
climbing or safety equipment.
Instructions for repairing holes in SWAYGO PACKS. These
repairs must be performed in a very well ventilated area. A
respirator and gloves are recommended.
Materials needed:
1. Well ventilated
area
2. Aquaseal
3. Sandpaper
4. Rubbing alcohol
5. Paper towel or rag
6. Tape
7. Cardboard or
newspaper
Step by step:
1. Clean the pack.
Inside and out. Water and a brush or rag work well. Wipe it dry
to remove any remaining residue. Clean it again if necessary.
The material needs to be very clean for the sealant to stick.
2. Find and mark the
hole. The simplest way to do this is to stand in bright
sunlight, stick your head in the pack and look for light leaking
in. Another way is to fill the pack with water while keeping the
outside dry. The water will leak through any holes. Mark the
hole so you can find it later.
3. Prepare work
space. In a well ventilated place, spread cardboard or newspaper
to catch any drips or accidents.
4. Roughen the area.
Use sandpaper to scuff the area around the hole. The Aquaseal
will stick better to rough surfaces.
5. Tape the underside
of the hole. Place a piece of tape on the inside of the pack,
under the hole, so the Aquaseal does not leak through.
6. Clean the hole.
Thoroughly clean the area around the hole with rubbing alcohol.
This will remove any oils or other residue.
7. Apply the Aquaseal.
In a well ventilated area, apply a small amount of Aquaseal over
the hole. Spread the Aquaseal with a circular motion so it
extends at least a 1/4" around the hole.
8. Let dry. On a flat
surface, so the Aquaseal does not run. Allow the the patch to
dry for 24 hours.
9. Check the patch.
After it is dry, check to make sure the Aquaseal is adhered
well. It should be clear or slightly cloudy and flexible.
10. Go caving.
