OXNARD, Calif., Dec. 21, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today Vettec, Inc. announced that its SG-20 adhesive sealant is now available at Cabela's® stores in U.S. and Canada, and at www.cabelas.com. SG-20 is an adhesive material that repairs waders and a variety of other outdoor gear quickly and easily. The adhesive is easy to apply, sets almost immediately and forms a watertight seal within one hour, getting sportsmen back into the outdoors quickly and comfortably. SG-20 is available at Cabela's for $19.99 per repair kit.
"As the world's largest direct marketer, of hunting, fishing, camping and related outdoor merchandise Cabela's is giving outdoor sports enthusiasts a new choice – the best choice – to maintain and repair their gear," said Frank Rovelli, General Manager of Vettec, Inc., the maker of SG-20. "SG-20 is the most durable, odorless and fastest drying repair solution for outdoor gear available on the market."
SG-20 is made of a propriety blend of two-part poly-urethane adhesive material that adheres to dry neoprene, poly-urethane and canvas, making it ideal for repairing many different styles of waders, Muck Boots™, frog toggs®, foul weather and hunting gear. Damaged gear can be fixed quickly in the field simply by cleaning and drying the damaged material and applying SG-20. When mending the lightweight, breathable waders commonly worn by wading fishermen, the SG-20 adhesive is applied to the inside of the waders (the underside of GORE-TEX® or nylon) rather than the outside.
"Hunters and anglers spend nearly $450 million and $183 million a year respectively on special clothing, boots, waders and foul weather gear each year (1). SG-20 can help sportsmen extend the life of their gear and keep it in good repair wherever their adventures take them," added Rovelli. "We are continually finding new ways to use SG-20 and hearing about new applications our SG-20 customers have discovered."
The SG-20 repair kit includes one dual-barrel, 20 ml dispensing cartridge, an equalizing plunger, three precision mixing tips and a contouring plastic sheet that can be used to smooth out the sealant. Once the cartridge is opened it's ready to use immediately and after it's applied it starts to set within a minute, creating a smooth, water-tight seal to keep air, dirt and debris out. After one hour SG-20 is fully dry, yet remains flexible, moving naturally with the material. SG-20 can be used multiple times using the included mixing tips and remains shelf stable for up to one year.
Repairs with SG-20 have been shown to be incredibly durable, lasting five or more years in the field. Vettec and SG-20 customers have proven SG-20's durability on:
