Product Description

Sealtex Bit Wrap Latex Bandage

Sealtex Bit Wrap Latex Bandage is originally designed as a leg wrap for race track horses (future Event horses). The latex bandage doubles as a pretty effective bit wrap for broken rubber bits. Sealtex is made of pure latex so if your horse or you have a latex allergy, sealtex latex bit wrap might not be the best solution for you.

• Originally designed as a leg wrap, doubles as a bit wrap
• Made of pure latex
• Won’t absorb water (or mouth slime)
• Surface does not attract mud or dirt (more applicable for a leg wrap but useful for a bit wrap)
• Sealtex sticks to itself really well and stays in place
• Smooth and soft, lasts a long time when used for bit repair
• Low profile, won’t add much bulk to your bit

Sealtex Bit Wrap Application Instructions

Materials needed:

1. Broken, chipped or otherwise damaged rubber or plastic bit
2. Scissors
3. Sealtex – about 8 inches
4. A clean, flat place to work

In this example, we’re going to use a common schooling bit with a single jointed mouthpiece that is damaged. Too much work for you? Select from our wide range of new horse bits!

Steps to Fix a Bit Using Sealtex Bit Wrap

1. Gather the materials required – naturally, you have already purchased Sealtex from Four Star Eventing Gear

2. Cut about 8 inches of Sealtex from the roll. Cut that 8 inches in half, hotdog style (applicable for jointed bits). If you’re not using a jointed bit, you might need to use another strip of 8 inches to cover a 5″ bit. Use your discretion, we’re just trying to cover the broken parts.

3. Pull a little of the blue backing off the Sealtex and apply it to the bit. Working from inside out, roll the Sealtex around the bit, removing the blue backing as you go. Be sure to keep the Sealtex tight and overlapping about 50%.

4. Press the Sealtex into itself (and the bit) once you have completed the wrap. That’s it! You have saved a bit by using Sealtex! Whoop!

 

Sealtex Leg Wrap Application Instructions

When using Sealtex as a leg wrap, allow a 50% overlap when bandaging the leg. Keep tension on the Sealtex bandage by stretching the roll as the wrap is made, pressing the Sealtex firmly to itself on the overlap of the wrap. Be sure to overlap Sealtex onto itself fully for the most secure fit. Pressing securely onto the finished bandage will help set the bond. Sealtex sticks to itself very well so you don’t need to tape it or use other fasteners.
