A damaged tug fender isn't just a cosmetic issue—it's a critical safety and operational risk. From reduced impact absorption to potential hull damage, a compromised fender can lead to costly downtime and repairs. Understanding your repair options is essential for maintaining operational efficiency. This guide from Tonly, a leading tug fender manufacturer, outlines four common approaches to managing fender damage, helping you decide between a quick fix and a professional solution.
Repair method
1. Use a sander to clean the damaged position of the repaired fender, clean the residue with a brush, then flatten the fender and apply glue.
2. According to the size of the overlap, place the repair material (suspended rubber cord cloth) horizontally and vertically, and put the outermost layer in the fender so that it can be applied to the middle of the rubber sheet (pure rubber sheet) and brushed.
3. Put the heating plate on the repair material, put the jack on the heating plate, and then lift the jack to the top of the mouth-shaped bracket.
4. Press the jack until it is pressed by hand.
5. Turn on the power and activate the start button on the control cabinet to start maintenance.
6. When the temperature is reached, the heating device automatically stops. After stopping, the temperature of the heating plate rises, then the temperature drops and drops below 80°C, and the repair is completed.
7. Remove the jack, remove the heating plate, and then repeat the above steps to repair the damaged fender.
