Repair steps: 

Use the following steps to repair small damage area:

1. Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

   Use a utility knife or screwdriver to remove any loose debris from the repair area. Bevel the edge of the repair area with the utility knife.

2. Use a prep solvent to clean the area and allow to dry.
3. Place a large paper shop towel next to the repair area.
4. Shake the cartridge material to insure proper mix and insert into the gun.

   Purge the mixing tip away from the repair area (on the towel) to ensure proper material mix. Pump the cartridge at least 3 times verifying there are no striations in the material to ensure proper mix. The material should be a solid black color.

   Noting the viscosity of the repair material, moving from the towel to the repair area, use a slow bead to fill the entire repair area from the outer edges, spiraling into the center moving back to the towel leaving no tail of the material on the repair area.

   If the repair area is overfilled the edges can be feathered out using an edge of the textured pad.

   It is better to slightly overfill the repair area.

   Place the textured pad over the repair area and apply firm and even pressure for a minimum of 2 minutes.

   Using a small block, such as a piece of 2 x 4 wood, allows for a more even pressure application.

   Release the pressure and slowly remove the pad. If any material sticks to the pad, it can be removed once dry.

10. When completed, wait approximately 10 minutes then apply bed liner conditioner to the repaired area if required to blend the color of the repair with the existing bed liner.

    Long tears are handled in the same way but broken down into smaller sections to allow enough time to complete the section within the cure time of the material and to be small enough to be covered by the textured pad.

12. Left over unmixed material can be kept properly sealed for up to 30 days.
