    Care Instructions

    The latex glue covering on this product needs special care.

    • Store and dry in shaded cool area, never on the washing line or fence in the sun.
    • Do not store wet &/or folded in enclosed space for prolong periods.

    Prolonged periods in the sun/heat and exposure to gasoline can effect the integrity of the latex glue and cause it to break down
