1.Clean the damaged area very well.
2.Dry the Area.
3.Cut Repair tape to fit.
4.Apply tape to damaged area using light pressure.
5.Done :-)
Here is a link to the tape I used:

Thank you. Showing the 'very clean and very dry' is priceless. Some of us kids who didn't always get shown how to do things, let alone do them right, really appreciate seeing it in action. Great example.
Absolutely Love it !
Since I have taken to watching TH-cam, It always fascinates me how long a video can be made to last with very little or no content. Most videos are extrapolated to try and gain TH-cam presence or fame, but this one is totally innocent.
Couldn’t stop laughing, had tears coming down my face 😅😂🤣
And thanks for all the comments below 😂😂🤣😅
Bless.........
this entire video could have been from 5:00 to 7:00 if you wrote clean area first
That will do the trick for a good while. Unfortunately you end up with a giant blob of black on your transparent roof doing so though.
The best long term fix I have found is doing that exact sort of cleaning prep, with a small panel of solid polycarbonate / perspex and joining it with shower grade (mould and yellowing resistant) silicone.
You build up a lip of silicone on the top edge to allow water to run off to the sides, so pooling doesn't occur.
You won't notice it without looking for it.
Great repair you hardly see it! This video is the sole reason vid shorts were created .
if you want to watch someone wash and dry it for five minutes then that's cool (FYI there are plenty of watching paint dry vids too) but if you aren't, and are wanting to see whats described in the title then I recommend skipping to 5:13
You can always fast forward
God bless my Dad he'd loved this video......he loved a bodgit and leggit job..😂😂😂
The flashing won't stay stuck to the plastic for very long, trust me I know, the best thing I found is. use thin poly carb flat sheet with carpet glue. These plastic roofs get very hot in the summer, so any glue will become soft with the heat. So again, it won't stay stuck forever, but it will stay stuck for longer. It will make for a more invisible mend. In general, if this type of roof becomes brittle, it is time to cover it with corrugated sheets or replace it. These roofs have a built-in shelf life.
Thabks saves me money
really helpful video. can you please confirm the type of material you put on over the crack on your conservatory roof? Many thanks
Hi thanks. Its s lead flashing alternative. Screwfix sell it in the UK but should be in most large DIY stores.
thank you so much for the advice. will act on this. great video
@@fiatbravodriver Many thanks for the video,👍 and much appreciate the info on where to buy that material.
WTF I watched it till the end just to see a bloody patch job with tape being put on 🤣😂
Its more of a temporary patch than a repair
Rolling pin was the best bit
Dog barked just before that self adhesive was added on...bad sign. Just change the panel and the job will last longer.
Ya....I'd buy a new panel myself
i can think of a better use for that rolling pin.
Not exactly a repair is it, it's a patch job 🤣😂🤣
But you cannot see through it therefore it is unsightly... some sort of clear silicone would have been better, maintained by the patch on the other side whilst it dries. Then peel off the patch..
I feel kinda wiped out after watching that.
He works in the local Indian restaurant making chappaties 🤣🤣🤣 great job though 👍👍👍👍 when you gona jet wash the rest of it ???
Hey dumbass nobody cares about you dumbass remarks
wow, that was neat.
In summary, clean and use flashing tape!
A few top tips not mentioned in this video:
- if using flashband, use flashband primer to improve adhesion. Recommended on such a low pitch application. Flashband is typically used as an alternative to lead flashing.
- you can purchase a clear weatherproof tape, which is suitable for patching polycarbonate. In this case I’d avoid using something abrasive when cleaning the polycarbonate sheet. Furthermore this tape costs just £3 (as opposed to the much more expensive flashband and primer).
- if you are looking to repair the polycarbonate roof, you can easily replace the panel for less than £100 if it’s 10mm.
dodgey work there i wonder how long that will last
Hey dumbass nobody asked you
#legend
Thank you kind sir ;-)
Where did you buy the product from? The link you left does no longer work
polycarbonate repairing
HI, Thaks for the video. The link is not working. What kind tape is it ?
looks like "FlashBand". you can get it from Homebase or B and Q
what is that patch called please?
Looks like Gorilla tape. You can get it from Tescos & im sure B & Q wpuld have wider stuff like that
Where patch from, ?? Maybe tell us rather than thumbs up??
Tape gone from ebay, got a name??
Everest Windows need not fear!
Black patch on clear sheet🤔😆😆😆
Why not just replace the panel. Lol
what a shit clip, that patch would look awful
That roof is stuffed not worth cleaning
This is a joke, right?
Dit lyk kak 😂
#3 "Repair tape" is not helpful. I'll just file this under, 'Duct Tape - The Answer for When There is No Answer' and look for a new shed.
Your a dumbass
Is this a comedy??
