 Tue Nov 28, 06 9:46 pm bladder repair |
 |
|
my 9m waroo main bladder has a slow leak. I pulled the bladder out (leaving a couple of lines in place to pull it back) got it in the bath tub and found the site of the leak. It's in the middle of the bladder material well away from seams, valves or the ends. The hole is tiny, invisible to the naked eye, but a steady stream of bubbles underwater and i can feel the air coming out of it now i've marked it. Anyone who has successfully repaired this kind of leak what do you recommend as patch material? I've got the bike tube type patches and also a couple feet of that tear aid stuff they sell at and andy and bax for patching just about anything - which would be best? I was wondering bike patch with tear aid over the top for extra security?
thanks - paul |

| I'm sure the patch kit that came with the kite would be fine on something that small. I've used them on much bigger holes and they hold great. |

| I second what Phil says, the patches that come with the kite have never failed me. |

| The factory SS patches look almost identical to Tear-Aid... work for me too. |
