one pump leading edge bladder repair 2010 rise

Post by Fluffy »

Been puzzling on how to safely repair our 10 meter leading edge bladder. I have figured that we need to attach "strings" to each strut attachments on the leading edge to properly reseat them but how can I block those strut "holes" to check my bladder is intact to pump it up. I have thought about tape over those holes but I am worried about the tape causing damage when I remove it and the tape leaving glue behind. bla bla HELP. Debs

once you get your bladder out lay it in the same place on top of the leading edge and use the hoses and clamps that are still attached to the struts to reseal the valves so you can pump up and use soapy water to look for leaks.

We can thank Ross - I asked him the same question last month.
