2. Temiz Yüzey: Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired. Remove any dirt, algae, debris, or loose material. Use a mild detergent if necessary, then rinse completely.

4. Basınç Uygula: Apply firm, even pressure to the bonded area for several minutes to ensure good contact and adhesion. A roller or flat object can be used.
