About Gear Aid Aquaseal UV Adhesive for Instant Wader and Drysuit Repair
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
80% praised the adhesive strength, while 20% faced issues
The adhesive strength of this tile-epoxy-adhesive is not very strong and the glue dries hard and yellowish, easily peeling off.
90% appreciated the fast drying time, but 10% desired more
With the UV light, the adhesive dried in about 1 minute after being tacky for 5 minutes.
I can cure the adhesive by shining UV light on it for as little as 10 seconds.
The actual curing time is 4 hours in clear California sun at 72 degrees and overnight to fully cure, which differs from the instructed 1 minute curing time.
78% found it easy to use, but 22% struggled
This adhesive changes the drying process from hours to seconds and prevents sagging or dripping.
The tile-epoxy-adhesive dries in about 1 minute with the UV light.
I can apply and cure the adhesive with a UV light in just 10 seconds.
The cure time mentioned in the instructions was 1 minute, but it took me 4 hours in clear California sun at 72 degrees and overnight to fully cure.
81% liked the flexibility, but 19% experienced cracking
Aquaseal is an extremely tough, adhesive, and flexible solution that can provide a great permanent repair on many things, beyond just fabrics.
I found that the regular water activated aqualseal has stronger bonding and is more flexible than the product being reviewed.
