I need a Bladder Patch!

[joshgubler]

Anybody have a chunk of old bladder material you could give me? Surely somebody must have an old dead kite. I'm down in St. George right now, but I'll be up in Springville/Provo Sunday and Monday. Thanks.

Also, does anybody know of a place to pick up sail tape down here?

Josh,
I've got old bladders. I live in American Fork.
Give me a call 319-3280

Best repair tape I have found is Tear-Aid.

Fixes everything on the kite, more durable than if you sent it in for a repair.

I thought about using sail tape but I was afraid it wouldn't stretch and would create a weak point in the bladder. Am I wrong? Sail tape seems like it would be way easier than trying to iron on a patch.

tear-aid ive used to repair full length rips on canopies and it was stronger than orig material. stuff rocks!

Yeah, I've used it for canopy repairs too. I just wasn't sure about bladder repairs.
