Protecting SUP paddles everywhere. 
Application instructions Blade Runner

is the latest generation of paddle blade protector and manufactured with an integral 3M™ pressure sensitive adhesive on the inside so no need to mess about with blobs of super glue. Blade Runner will give you a firm bond along its entire length and is made from pliable and abrasion resistant PVC and is available in two sizes to cope with paddle blade edges ranging from 1mm to 6mm.

 

Blade Runner paddle Blade protector kits are comprised of two parts:

a: 100cm of Blade Runner

b: Black waterproof self-adhesive vinyl tape to secure both ends if required

 Activate Blade Runner

Set out the tools that you will need: a knife or scissors, the Blade Runner, a surface cleaner like white spirits.

Clean the paddle blade; wash with fresh clean water and dry off. Remove any wax, oil or grease and impurities with white spirits,  isopropyl alcohol or nail varnish remover.

NB- Some cleaning fluids may damage printed logos and deckles on some blades so be carful, do a test piece first in an inconspicuous place and only clean the edge of the blade where the Blade Runner will be fitted.

Work out your stating point close to the neck of the paddle and press one end of the Blade Runner onto the starting point and hold firmly for about 10 seconds or so.

 

Now press the Blade Runner into place progressively around the complete paddle blade until you arrive at the opposite point to where you started from.
Cut the Blade Runner with scissors at the appropriate place and press firmly in place for about 10 seconds or so. Blade Runner adhesive fully cures in about 12 hours depending on surrounding temperature..

If required use the PCV tape supplied to wrap around both ends of the Blade Runner and the neck of the paddle to cover about 5-6cm of the paddle neck and Blade Runner ends.

 

Here you will see the subtle difference between an unprotected paddle blade and a paddle protected by Blade Runner.
