Further technical information on our range of Seam Sealing Tape is available on our website at http://www.wbm-uk.com/tapes.htm. Application Instructions: T-5500 is applied using a hand iron or heat press. The temperature needs to be on a medium / medium hot setting - the dwell time is the important factor and this can only be determined by experimentation - suggest in the region of 10 seconds with pressure applied. Ideally apply the T-5500 to a small piece of waste fabric first to test adhesion strength - after test application and allowing time for cooling pull back the edge and you should feel a strong resistance. For a good seal to be achieved the temperature must be hot enough for the adhesive to be flowing / molten and pressure must be applied across the full width of the patch. ## Features - 0.5 Meter length x 30cm width piece of T-5500 Hot Melt Material with poly dots on fabric face for durability - easy to cut to any shape. - Non-Slip, Waterproof / Water Resistant - For all types of Repairs / Patching, Seam Sealing, Seam Reinforcement, Knee Pads, Seat Pads, Elbow pads, Glove Facings, external decoration - Wetsuits / Dry Suits / Waders / Scuba - Material remains flexible after application with excellent durability in use and resistance to salt water hydrolysis - Easy to apply using domestic Iron (medium / hot setting) or heat press ## Images ![WBM Seam Tapes Repair Patch Material Melco T-5500 –Wetsuit/Dry Suit, Scuba – Hot Melt, Iron On - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51y4qIyGj5L.jpg) ![WBM Seam Tapes Repair Patch Material Melco T-5500 –Wetsuit/Dry Suit, Scuba – Hot Melt, Iron On - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51rFJ68lP%2BL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enhancement and protection for your neoprene drysuit *by A***R on 10 December 2016* Used the material on my neoprene drysuit to great effect used a medium heat iron with a dry tea towel to cover the ironmend held in place for 20 seconds which is longer than what the instructions say I found this timing to work better with my iron settings as practice proved with great results and no damage to the neoprene whatsoever the repair patches were used to protect the seat of my drysuit after it was damaged a couple of times on our dive boatThe material also is very tough as it's a hard jobTo cut with sharp scissors , I'm over the moon with the job it's done I'm going to get more of it to protect the knees as well, it looks the business ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good otherwise, and went on perfectly after using an ... *by S***M on 6 September 2018* I only wish they would not cut the material to that width, but make it available in sheets twice as wide so it could be cut in an arc successfully to the size wanted.
