Useful Tips.

1) Whenever you don't use your bag or backpack, make sure to keep it in a dry and dark place. Latex , being a natural product, suffers from direct sunlight.
2) For cleaning and maintance of the decorative latex-surface, only use the following products,
a) Silicone-oil or Silicone-Spray
Silicone-oil ensures a nice gloss. Spray a thin layer of oil and sleek with a soft brush.
b) Any other latex-maintenance-products.
It is important that they are suitable for rubber.! Apply a thin layer using a soft brush. Repeat if necessary.
Never use other fats or oils like Vaseline or vegetable oil, as latex suffers badly when in contact with these oils.

3) If the latex-skin gets damaged (clefts or cracks) you can repair it as follows:
Clean skin on both sides using petroleum ether or acetone with a soft cloth or Q-tip. The Latex may flute a bit, but it will return into the original shape once the solvent has vanished.
Once the clean part is dry, key the inner surface using sand paper. You can use a curing agent as it is used for inner tubes of bikes together with a small patch or cloth.
Apply a thin layer of the agent to the patch or cloth as well as the inner side of the latex. (Once again the skin might flute, which is no problem). Place the patch inside of the cleft or crack using tweezers. Let the agent dry a bit and press the patch to the skin. The stronger you press, the better the adhesion.
