Introduction
Foam camping mats can delaminate with frequent use, causing discomfort. We will show you how to re-attach the layers, ensuring your mat remains functional for future trips.
Tools
-
-
Locate the delaminated part that needs to be fixed.
-
Choose a suitable glue that adheres to foam surfaces.
-
Note: in this example, we choose a spray glue, but any foam-adapted glue will work just the same.
-
-
-
Place a piece of paper or old newspaper under the mat to protect the surface before spraying.
-
Tip: leave a distance of 20-30 cm around the mat when spraying.
-
Place a small piece of cardboard between the tip and the rest of the mat to prevent the spray glue from directly staining it.
-
-
-
Apply pressure to the area.
-
Note: Follow the instructions of the glue used to know the exact drying time. In this example, we waited 1 minute for the glue to dry before attaching both layers together. Afterwards, we held the parts together for 3 minutes and then let it dry overnight.
