and MEK to wipe up excess glue.
Allow the repair to cure for as long as possible. In an emergency, you could inflate the boat after only an hour
or so, but this will put stress on the patch, possibly requiring the repair to be re-done later. If you must inflate the
raft quickly after the repair, try to limit the air pressure in the patched chamber. Ideally, you should allow the glue
to cure for 8-12 hours and full cure can take up to 24 hours, depending on conditions.
Many difficult repairs are best performed by a professional repair center. There is one authorized STAR repair
center, Z Pro Watersports, located in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. For all non-warranty issues, contact the
repair center directly at 864-835-0057. For any warranty issues or for more information about repair centers
in your area, please call or e-mail STAR Customer Service. Our phone number is 800.635.5202 and our email
address is star@nrs.com.

TRANSPORT

If you are transporting your boat inflated, remember to slightly deflate the chambers. Temperature and altitude
changes affect the air pressure in the boat, especially in direct sunlight. Whether transporting your boat inflated
or deflated, make sure to inspect the load for any areas that could rub, abrade or puncture the boat's fabric.
Sand or other debris left in the boat could cause wear on the fabric during transport. Putting your deflated boat
in a boat bag for transport will help prevent wear and damage from other gear.

STORAGE

If possible, let your boat dry thoroughly before deflating it. If applicable, remove the drop-stitch floor insert to dry
that area. We do not recommend using a vacuum or deflator to suck all the air out of the chambers. The ideal
storage position is unfolded in a cool, dry location, with a small amount of air left in the chambers. If space is
limited, store the boat loosely rolled, with the valves open, in a protective bag or cover. Keep the boat off dirt or
concrete floors. Rodents have been known to burrow into stored boats, so take precautions to prevent this.
