Fixing/Replacing LED Lights in an Inflatable

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). 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. Clean and dry the area around the leak. This is very important because any grease or dirt that isn’t removed from the inflatable will prevent an airtight seal, which may require you to patch the patch. 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. Fixing a Tear or Hole in your Inflatable The kit contains a 5g tube of Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive, a TUFF Tape strip, two 75mm (diameter) TUFF Tape patches, along with protective gloves.

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 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.

Features

Place the patch on the leak. Press the patch down, working from the center out to the edges to ensure a good seal. Not every repair kit can repair every type of damage. If you have a small pinhole that is slowly leaking air, then any type of repair kit will work (as long as it’s suitable for the material). 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. The worst damage for an inflatable to sustain is a split along the seam because there’s nothing to stop the entire seam from opening up. It is rare to find a repair kit that can fix a split seam. How repair kits work Supplied with detailed instructions on how to undertake a professional repair on all makes of PVC inflatable paddle boards and SUPs, such as Red Paddle Co, Starboard, Barefoot, Aztron, STX, Naish and Fanatic. 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.
