Hi all,
my kite had a leak with one of the strut bladders going flat. Pulled it out and saw that the glue holding the valve on the bladder degraded. Used the Sekisiu 5760 tape which came in the repair kit with the kite to tape it down - worked a treat.
noticed another couple of the bladders are having the same issue, so wanting to use more of the same tape - or an alternative.
can anyone recommend a similar tape which is easy to purchase or, or where I can get more of thr Sekisiu tape?

thanks

Your repair may work for now but unlikely to last. If you don't want to stress about your kite deflating on you mid-session in the middle of the ocean, order yourself a brand new bladder set with valve pre-installed from Dr. Tuba. This will give you peace of mind and the bladders/valves will outlast the life of your kite.
