Product Description

  • This compact Skimender repair pistol is ready made for the home mechanic.
  • It is extremely simple to operate, capable of producing quality base repairs with good durability and it's pretty darn affordable to boot!
  • The RP100 uses the 11mm techo sticks which are more durable than drip repair candles, and produce longer lasting repairs (the material resists snow abrasion, so repairs don't cup-out over time).
  • It is crucial to allow the RP100 to heat-up to operating temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • If you try to use it too soon the material will not flow smoothly and you'll have a gummy mess!
  • Make sure you put a repair stick in the pistol while it heats!
  • When the pistol is hot simply hold the tip over the gouge and press the trigger, the ptex will begin to flow, press the molten ptex lightly into the gouge with the tip (always keep ptex between the tip and the base to avoid damaging the base) and proceed along the gouge until it is filled.
  • Don't move too quickly, you want the tip too heat the base with a float of about 1mm of p-tex inbetween so a good bond can form, nice and easy.
  • Allow the repair to cool, then use a Surform (ACE-2115) followed by a steel scraper (SAN-474) to reduce and smooth the repair.
  • The temperature the RP100 operates at is less than the RP360 and the Repair Iron (http://www.tognar.com/Photos-renamed/MMN-WB1), the lower the temperature the less durable the bond between base material and repair material.
  • That said, the RP100 is worlds better than drip candles and almost at the level of our base repair Iron.
  •  The RP100 will get hot enough to melt co-polymer or ptex repair string but not the repair ribbon.
  • Use with Item SHP-187033 Black techo stix or Item #SHP-187034 Clear techo stix.
  •  The RP100 includes a great stand for your bench, (2) four-inch clear repair sticks and a nice long seven-foot cord! 120 volts.
  • This repair pistol is designed operate on any voltage between 100-240v.
  • Folks in countries other than the U.S. and Canada will need a plug adaptor (available at travel or electronics stores), or, if you"re electronically savy, you can replace the plug entirely.

  1. Base Repair Pistol

    Posted by Chris on 18th Jan 2012

    I recently purchased one of these tools. They are much more expensive on other sites and I felt that for the money, it would be a good purchase. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance of the gun. I use it in my home shop. One word of caution is that the base needs to be pre-heated in order for the P-Tex to weld itself to the base. If this is not done, the P-Tex will easily pull out. Not a fualt of the product, but something to bear in mind. Other than that, great product for the price.
