Repair of pvc glass and foil
Preliminary information: When it comes to repairing a cracked camping windshield made of plexiglass or polycarbonate, go straight to this product.
In this guide, you will learn how to glue, fill and repair damaged glass, windows or films with perfectly transparent glue.
It is difficult to find a perfectly crystalline adhesive with a high flexibility factor on the market. These criteria are perfectly met by ATK CLEAR.

windows in convertible (convertible roof repair)
windows in camping and storage tents
windows in tents and halls
transparent films in curtains, drapes and sheds
windows in the canopies

terrace walls
welding curtains
other industrial protective and separating curtains
others in which transparent PVC foil is used in elements exposed to weather conditions, temperature changes, and even in industrial elements with vapors, e.g. gasoline, etc.
Why do you recommend this glue and not another?
it is perfectly transparent, which can be seen in the film - see
provides flexible connections, therefore it works with the material during bending
ensures tightness
resistant to weather conditions, including snow, frost, etc.
resistance to various types of chemicals, e.g. gasoline
After drying, the adhesive is flexible and resistant to kinking.
Iinstruction:
The most common repair is a crack or a tear, or even a hole that needs to be patched up. Of course, replacement is the easiest way, but it is also the most expensive because you need to replace the entire element, which is often non-dismountable, and also time, i.e. finding the right company, contact, order, measurements, production and assembly. All these elements are sometimes repaired for several days or even weeks! It is better, cheaper and faster to repair such a tear in a very aesthetic way. (saving time and money)
degrease the element to be repaired
we cut the patch 2-3 cm larger than the crack of a regular shape
we put glue on the patch and press it lightly
fasten it so that it does not move for the first 10-15 minutes. We can use paper tape, unless the element is glued horizontally
Remember:
- if the PVC film has additional coatings, a light sanding of 200-300 grit may be needed (you can do a preliminary test earlier on a redundant piece or in a less visible place by applying it to the surfaces).
- we glue at positive temperatures above 15 degrees - if you want to glue the repair place and the patch in lower heat, keep the temperature for the first 1 hour. e.g. with a farelka or even a dryer.
