Product Information

Now that you have all the leaks discovered, carefully take down your inflatable and move it into a large, well-lit indoor space if possible (garages work great!). Now it’s time to determine what kind of material you will be fixing. Repairing Fabric/Nylon Tears Underwater application: Most repair kits require the surface to be clean and dry before applying the patch. In some instances, this just isn't possible. If you have a leak that’s underwater, you need a repair kit that is specifically designed to perform repairs when the material is wet. Inflatables are manufactured using a wide variety of materials. Some of the possibilities include rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), neoprene, vinyl, polyester, and canvas. Unfortunately, not every repair kit can be used to repair every type of material. Before purchasing, make sure the repair kit that you’re considering can repair the type of material your inflatable is made of. Repair Place the patch on the leak. Press the patch down, working from the center out to the edges to ensure a good seal. Prepare the patch. Cut a patch that sufficiently covers the hole. It’s best to round the corners because rounded corners are less likely to get caught on something and tear the patch.

Finding and permanently stopping a leak might seem daunting, but it’s pretty simple. In fact, you probably learned all the skills you need while in preschool: it's just a matter of cutting and pasting. Although each type of repair kit involves a slightly different process, the steps are generally the same. Odor: The adhesive in most repair kits has a strong, unpleasant odor. If you’re sensitive to certain smells, look for a repair kit that has a more tolerable odor.The first step you’ll need to do is figure out if your yard inflatable’s blower is working. Plug your inflatable directly into an outlet, bypassing any outdoor inflatable timersyou may be using. If you still don’t get any action from your blower, try a different outlet if possible or at least plug another device into the same outlet to make sure the outlet is live. Patch: This is the most common repair method and is suitable for most types of damage. In essence, you’re gluing a patch in place using a very strong adhesive that bonds the patch to the inflatable. The drying time of the adhesive can vary greatly from product to product. Some repairs can be accomplished with just a few hours of drying time while others may take up to 24 hours to cure. Special qualities Be sure to go over the entire inflatable when you do this method, carefully marking each leak either mentally or with a piece of masking tape.

The Problem Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive can repair everything from a small pin hole to a large rip. Repairs are waterproof, flexible and resistant to abrasion (weather and water abrasion).

If you have a small tear or larger hole, some of the repair kits might not be effective. Even fewer repair kits can handle a long slash or tear.
