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). 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. Finding and permanently stopping a leak might seem daunting, but it’s pretty simple. In fact, you probably learned all the skills you need while in preschool: it's just a matter of cutting and pasting. Although each type of repair kit involves a slightly different process, the steps are generally the same. If your blower is working, but the inflatable isn’t inflating all the way, you likely have a tear in your fabric. If your blower still isn’t working, you can skip ahead for more troubleshooting tips.

Inflatables are manufactured using a wide variety of materials. Some of the possibilities include rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), neoprene, vinyl, polyester, and canvas.

You apply a dab of sealant on the damaged portion and keep the edges together until the sealant dries. This works best on damage where the material is not missing, such as a pinhole or small tear.

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.
