Blew hole in leading edge

[TomG]

Any suggestions? This is ashame this is one of the tubes from the place in Hoodriver

Thinking about taking a piece of old tube and patch with aquaseal on the inside and same on outside.

Tom, that can be fixed. I repaired a longer tear on Kevin's Waroo bladder and it held air fine. Get yourself some Tear Aid B, the stuff that comes in rolls. Cabella's has it. I think Midwest might too. If you are careful to get the material flat before you patch it and get it clean, you should be able to do it. Once you have the repair done, inflate it and submerge it. If you see bubbles, get out the Aquaseal to stop them.

The method you describe would be very messy and hard to do correctly I think.

Thanks thats why I asked.. I'll look into that Tear aid B

[Mike W]

Tom, you want Tear Aid A. I just double checked. Tear Aid B is for the canopy-- A is for bladders.
