any way i suppose there will be another day
if it is a burst you have to patch it or replace it. but if it is just a line you can use baking paper and put it either side of the tear and iron it back together if you don't want to buy a whole new bladder. ![]()
Tear Air for bladder repairs, will fix almost any bladder issue.

Check the blowout pic on that page fixed in 5 mins, I've done hundreds of repairs with it now, and hardly ever use the welding method anymore.
Neil at HTLK for all sewing repairs on any type of kite.

Steve is that basically a big version of the puncture repair patches you get with kites?
Sounds like a quick and easy way to do the repair if so.
One question though, how long does it stay stuck after the repair and subsequent sessions / sunlight / salt water etc.?
You gotta stop crashing your kite Ian.
Ba ha ha ha - like who am I to comment!?![]()
Pity I couldn't return the favour and smugly kite past your mangled mess as per my tear apart session a few weeks back.
Alas i had to work late last night on the only decent wind for a while.. sigh.. time to resume my crochet classes.
