    2 things I have also found useful:
    1. I put waxed paper over a new patch and then press firmly on the waxed paper to seat the patch. If it is laying flat, you can place a heavy weight over the waxed paper and it will keep the patch flat and tight while it dries. When the glue is fully dry, the waxed paper will peel right off.
    2. After a patch has completely dried, I sometimes run a bead of glue all the way around the edges of the patch and then let it set up. It seals the patch and prevents any curling up of the edges or peeling back.

      +Thumper1044 The glue I am using in the video sets in about 5 minutes, so it is almost not worth trying to clamp it under anything heavy. I have however run glue around the edge of a patch, but for the most part if I applied the patch well enough I won't do that.

    Do not stick the patch on immediately. Either let it sit for at least a minute or gently blow on the patch and surface you want to apply it on until the glue is no longer shiny, then put the patch on. If you put it on wet then it will just slide and curl up at the edges and not stick well.

    in seam split how do you preventi the glue from sticking to inside and other side of the inflatable? It always happens to me. What about doing a negative repair for seams (i mean inside instead of outside)? is it a good idea?

    • @HeathDragon
      @HeathDragon  3 месяца назад +1

      I make sure to pull the two sides of the inflatable apart before the glue sets. As long as you pull it apart once or twice it won't stick anymore after that. And yes, I like to do patches on the inside whenever possible.

    Very informative! I wish I had this information back when I accidentally made a small rip in my whale while trying to figure out where to put it - I ended up just sort of pasting on a square of vinyl, leaving a sharp corner which ruins the feel of the toy a bit.
    But now, I have this video for future reference! Thanks!

    With the seam rip, would it be possible to accidently have glue seap inside and attach to the other side? With all that massaging I'm curious to know if you've ever glued the inside together accidently.

    • @HeathDragon
      @HeathDragon  7 лет назад +5

      The HH-66 vinyl cement I typically use dries so fast it really isn't necessary to clamp it for an extended period. However, other vinyl cements may take longer. You can always check the instructions for the glue you are using.

    Hey Heath Dragon, I don't know, if you will still read this, since the Video was a while back ago, but can I do the same glueing you did on pinholes, when they are on the seams, but small enough, that it's really only noticble through the air rushing through, when up close? Because I got a Baphnedia from BeiLe, but sadly found leaks alrady and one of them being the one I mentioned.

      @HeathDragon  7 лет назад +2

      If you are repairing simple damage you can buy a glue and patch kit from the local store. You can usually find it in the camping section near the inflatable mattresses. If you are looking to do something more substantial, vinyl can come from scrap pool toys or fresh sheets from a fabric store. You can buy HH-66 online or find Loctite's vinyl and fabric glue in the local store.

      The patch should be made of vinyl and from a similar or thinner thickness to what you are patching.

    You're videos are incredible! Can you point me to a PVC fabric that I buy online to patch a large white tear (about 10" long) I have along a seam? There are a lot of different thicknesses for boats, or tents, and I'm not sure what to get. There are also patches, but the ones I find are all small. The tear I have is along the neck of a Sun Pleasure Party Island Unicorn float I bought a couple years ago for $250 on Amazon. My plan is to use HH-66 and put an internal and external patch, and attempt to reinforce the rest of the neck seam with a bead or two of HH-66 - sound like a good plan? THANK YOU!

    Who sells that HH-66 glue? In the past I have used Goop cement to form a patch over seam splits. But the seam continues to split under the patch and before long it's leaking again. Does that ever happen with the method you use?

    • @HeathDragon
      @HeathDragon  8 лет назад

      You should be able to find HH-66 online or find Loctite's fabric and vinyl glue in a typical hardware store. The two glues I just listed should bond much better and not result in the issue you described.

      I just used scraps of vinyl from another inflatable. You can sometimes find vinyl patch kits at the store in the camping section near the air mattresses.

    The situation used to be a seam split and burning damage was fatal, but all other damage could be fixed with large stickers, duct tape and rubber cement. I find this video to be extremely helpful. However, it is not mentioned in this video that extensive damage caused by burns and acidic corrosion must be sterilized with chemicals before repair can begin.

    you should deffently show how to repair a seamsplit on the fin. like where the fins on the whale attach to the main body.because most of the whales that get thrown away is mostly that kind of seampslit. on the area where the fin connects to the main body

  • @wtrskr59

    Wouldn't it be better to place some book where the patch is to add even pressure to the patch and make sure all wrinkles are gone, and to make sure thee glue adhesives really set before inflating the toy again.

    • @HeathDragon
      @HeathDragon  8 лет назад

      This glue sets in just 5 minutes, but placing something on top of it is a good idea to keep it wrinkle free as it cures and especially useful if using slower acting glue. The cure time for the glue I am using varies from a few hours to a day. And yes, wait until it fully cures before inflating.

      It is HH-66 vinyl cement. You would not want to use plumbers' glue for flexible vinyl as I dries hard and not flexible.
