Abstract
A flotation device temporary repair composition comprising a wax and a metal silicate. Further ingredients may include mineral oil, elastomeric polymers, pigment agents and aroma agents. The repair composition is suitable for repairing a flotation device, such as a surfboard, by simple application into the damaged area to form an instant watertight seal, without the need for curing, and can be removed by hand at a later date to allow more permanent repair.
Claims12
A flotation device repair composition comprising:
- a wax in an amount between 20 to 60% by weight of said composition;
- a metal silicate having a % by weight greater than that of said wax, said metal silicate being ball clay in an amount between 20 to 60% by weight of said composition, said ball clay comprises from 20 to 80% kaolinite, 10 to 25% mica and 6 to 65% quartz;
- a mineral oil in an amount between 1 to 20% by weight of said composition;
- lanolin in an amount between 1 to 20% by weight of said composition;
- and
- an elastomeric polymer and resin in an amount between 3 to 25% by weight of said composition.

A method of using a flotation device repair composition, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) forming a flotation device repair composition, said composition comprising:
- a wax in an amount between 20 to 60% by weight of said composition;
- a metal silicate having a % by weight greater than that of said wax, said metal silicate being ball clay in an amount between 20 to 60% by weight of said composition, said ball clay comprises from 20 to 80% kaolinite, 10 to 25% mica and 6 to 65% quartz;
- a mineral oil in an amount between 1 to 20% by weight of said composition;
- lanolin in an amount between 1 to 20% by weight of said composition;
- and
- an elastomeric polymer and resin in an amount between 3 to 25% by weight of said composition;
- and
- b) applying an effective amount of said composition to a damaged region of a flotation device to form a watertight seal around said damaged region and repairing said flotation device.
