Repairing Inflatable Pin Holes, Punctures, and Tears
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2016
- In this video I demonstrate how to repair a set of pin holes, a puncture, a seam split on an inflatable pool toy. I use cotton balls and rubbing alcohol to clean the spots before repairing them. Then I uses rounded patches of vinyl and a Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) based glue to bond the patch to the toy. Specifically I am using HH-66 brand of vinyl cement. Please comment below. Any suggestions or corrections are completely welcome.
If planning to do something like this yourself, make sure to do so in a well-ventilated room so as not to breath the glue fumes.
While I love to describe the many projects I have done, if they inspire you to do something, you do so at your own risk. The glues and solvents I use can be toxic and vinyl is not breathable and can cause suffocation.
I think inflating the toy at the end of the video would have sealed the deal :-) The video was excellent. Thank you.
Thank you! I have had my blow up sheep doll for quite some time, but due to an over abundance of "use" I thought all was lost, and here you come to save the day with this awesome video! Dolly & I are so happy we found you!
I just fixed a pin hole on my inflatable following your tutorial. Thank you so much ! ❤️
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.
This was so incredibly helpful - thank you! I got a tear in an inflatable vinyl suit and was despondent that I'd never be able to fix it, but following your tutorial I was able to fix the tear, reinforce the seams. Now I have a very full, very happy toy ready to be blown up. Cannot thank you enough
Where can i buy the patch snd glue
Man your good... thanks for sacrificing your inflatable toys for this clip !!!
Thank you so much for your awesome videos. Thanks to you I was able to fix my mom´s favorite Christmas decoration
Thank you so much!! You helped me save my giant Intex unicorn!
Hi there I was curious if you know how to fix a seam split on the internet Unicorn or if you've had any experience with the tail seam split on the Unicorn mine just busted about a baseball size split on the tail and it's on the part that goes down on the wavy seam I think if the curve had been on the upward curve it would be easier to fox but because it's on a curve that goes down it's very hard to figure out
Thanks for the thorough and easy to follow steps!
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!
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.
Hi there Heath , I am filling you in on this because in my Area I now have an inflatable dragon, but Wednesday it got a small hole and it is barely next to the seam, so thanks for the seam steps and hopefully I can (or my Dad can) fix the really small seam split hole. and yes, I have parents in my location
I would feel bad if the inflatable was damaged. But hell i am glad you made this video.
Thank you so much my giant NASCAR just popped and I didn’t know how to fix it
Thank you for these videos they really helped a lot
Love your videos and thank you for sharing 👍😃
Industrial syringes are excellent for applying HH-66. I don't even use the HH-66 cannisters anymore except as brush holders.
Was the best video about repair
thanx for helping out!!!!! made it simple to repair.
Thank you so much!!! Now I can finally use my unicorn float
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.
+kellymccabeful Yes, the glue quite frequently does seep into the toy. As long as you peel the two sides of the toy apart before the glue fully sets you will be okay.
Good advise. Thanks
The beginning tho 😂😂😂
;-; don't pop him
Great video!
There's no MEK glue or HH66 glue in my country. (Perú) Would a PVC glue work?
We have simple glues, carpenter glue, contact glue, epoxy, silicon for bathrooms, crazy glue,...
Or the patches and glue for bicycle inner tire?
Holy shit I got scared for a sec
You don't know how badly I want an Aaron's dragon ;_;
I saw a dude find a pin hole by using a wet piece of saran wrap. Works fast.
Thank you. I have a set of inflatable Letter People that I turned into stuffed animals and I want to turn them back into just inflatable. Now that could be possible and I wouldn't have to run into storage issues or pay $500 for a completely new set. 😀👍. My letter R has an open seam in his leg and the rest mainly has cuts and need replacement valves
It is so nice to do it
Thanks you :3 Now i can repair my Crocodile >
Thank you!
+3D Printing Kid You'd want to use a patch and adhesive meant for flexible vinyl. PVC cement dries rigid which you don't want on a pool toy.
Thank you
استفدت كثيراً من طريقتك
شكرًا جزيلا لك
I like this video thank you very much
Abo ِHashim اخي ممكن تفهمني شنو المواد الي استخدمها خاصة الي مسح بي القطن وشو هو مافهمتو ياريت تفهمني
Nice vedio and your channel is also very nice
Thank you so much that's definitely going to help my Walker Stalker 2018 floaties
Wholesome video.
Oh yeah, that blue inflatable you're sitting on looks familiar.
Is that the Aaron dragon I'm seeing?
Yes, that is one of those blue pouncing dragons.
Had a tricky seam split on my Fya Ryu dragon's leg. Thanks for the tutorial.
thank you..
I use and exercise to sit on because it keeps my hip from hurting. I had one that last twenty years and everyone that I have purchased since has gotten punctured with a month. I hope this works. If it does i will note in the comment section.
Great video thanks! Any tips on how to find a hole? I have a transparent chair that deflates and can’t figure out from where! Thanks!
Inflate it and put it in water. If you see bubbling you found the hole. 😉
Nice
Fill the toy with air for any leakage in vidio after repair
PLEASE HELP NEED ADVICE AND INFO Can you please do a video on a curved seam please the tail on my inflatable Unicorn busted along the seam and is super curvey I have no idea how to fix it please help thank you❤❤❤
I also bought locktight after seeing a video comparing different products would you say aqua waterproof locktight works just as well as the hh66 or do you think the hh66 would be better??
How would I go about fixing small tears on the front of the mouth on the intex orca
gud day, what kind of white do you cover on that? or what its that?
I am gluing scraps of vinyl down to patch the inflatable.
Heh. I accidentaly almost tore off one of "nematocyst" or these frills on an big mouth inflatable jellyfish swim ring (one of my fav inflatables btw.). The samage is comparable to semi-tear/semi-seam split. I guess this video will be helpful. ... From this what I inspected, the only way to fix this is to glue a patch from the inside and then glue the semi-torn off nematocyst/frill over it. I mean over the patch. And heh... I just did that and it wasn't as easy as it seemed, the patch slightly dislocated and some glue got on the clear top part. It turned out sloppy but it should get the job done. I've seen worse, more sloppy inflatable repair jobs than mine. Besides. It's like scars on your toys. Adding... Climate? And in my opinion it shows you care about them, not simply discard them and buy a new one.
Amazing
Quick question if there's a seam split on like a wing to body of a toy how would you fix that?
Wrinkles are very tricky but I think I can make it
THATS ALOT OF DAMAGE,BUT WITH HEATH TAPE,YOU CAN TURN IT INTO FUN AGAIN!
thanks
How to recover from hardening?
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.
I would not recommend using just glue on a seam that is beginning to split. You really want to glue on a patch for seam repairs.
@@HeathDragon Alright, thank you very much ^^
Would a dab of glue on a relatively small seam split be sufficient for my orca?
I would not recommend glue alone on a seam split. The tear in the seam will simply propagate out from underneath the glue.
Hi , is it better to put some pressure on the patch overnight !! Thanks
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.
@@HeathDragon
Many thanks for your time 🙏. Cheers
I like cutting the ends of tears out with a pair of scissors, i.e. making them round, so the tear doesn't go tearing on from under the patch.
+powerpop23 That sounds like a really good idea. I will have to try that next time.
Before patching, try to straighten vinyl with hair dryer
That is a good tip.
How to fix gym ball and plz mention the link so that I can purchase the product from Amazon
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!
Can I do this on my exercise ball?
All those ideas are good but what if u CANT FIND HOLE TO PATCH WHAT U DO NOW
Where can I get the patches of vinyl and the HH-66 MEK from?
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.
You can buy HH-66 here: www.sailrite.com/HH-66-Vinyl-Cement-4oz
Thanks ,good to know ^^
What about those patches the toys come with? Are those any good for repairing punctures?
The patches that come with toys are typically just stickers. They sort of are like a small piece of packing tape. They will work temporarily but typically will start leaking quite quickly.
I know that this is a older video but is it possible to fix a small horizontal seam tare on the mouth of an inflatable intex whale with just the vinyl cement?
Any tear on or near a seam you would want to glue on a proper patch not just use the glue.
@Heath Dragon thanks for the information. Where can I find a good patch for the inflatable whale?
Usually you can find a patch kit in the camping section of Walmart or sporting goods stores, but I just usually use scrap vinyl from cheap inflatables.
@Heath Dragon hi you know where I can get some vinyl patches in the UK? I am having a hard time finding some, maybe something I can use instead ?
Ok I really hope you be able to answer to us as well.
We have inflatable custom that we bought if our son and someone throw a ball at him and customer wripped under arm.
Do you think what you recommend in the vidoe will help me save it?.he was so looking forward to wear it to school next week?
I hope you answer to me pls
can i use this on my disbled scooter wheel? (same as bike puncture)
+GhostVaperYT I would not recommend using this technique on a tire or inner tube.
ok thanks i just wondered. a new inner tube was only £4 so i'll order a new one. thanks again
Can I fix a seam tear but there is a cupholder?
A nice tutorial, but what about a possible glue sticking with the opposite surface of inflatable toy? How to protect this?
As long as you pull the two pieces apart that you don't want to stick in the first couple minutes of the glue's drying time you can safely pull them apart.
What's the name of the glue?
Question, will this work on a small hole on the seam? Thx
Yes, you can use a small patch to patch a small hole on the seam.
Is there a way to repair it without that stuff, like is there a way to repair it using regular glue duct tape or anything householdish?
+James Nightman I wouldn't recommend tape. You can however find simple patch kits at most superstores, pool supply stores, or sporting goods places. Patch kits usually have a small tube of vinyl glue, a sizable patch of vinyl, and only cost a few bucks.
What based glue? I couldn't catch the word. Thanks
Mine a long rip can i still do the same thing from how long/big it is??
Even long tears can be repaired.
@@HeathDragon thank you😄
But my inflatable punching bag have 2 medium hole so how to fix that i always use a salotape
What can you do when a aor bed gets a lump in it, Can it be repaired
+Nicole Sewell That usually means one of the internal baffles has started to peel. That is not an easy fix.
+Heath Dragon even if it's not a easy fix, Wat can be done about it or can anything b done to fix it?
+Nicole Sewell It is probably easier to buy a new air bed. You'd have to glue the baffle back together which is inside and hard to reach.
+Heath Dragon I just bought that one, Didnt even have it for a month. Wats the best airbed to get
Which chemical are applied first before applying the glue, plz send the which glue needs to b use.
I typically clean the bond joints with isopropyl alcohol before bonding. I use HH-66 for glue, but several brands sell flexible vinyl glue.
Plz add videos about repair panchur in fitball 😎
How can we fix the gym ball which got punctured
Great job. It where you get the patches?🙄
Would MEK based glue be the thing to use on a pin hole in my inflatable exercise ball? I'm not sure it would qualify as vinyl.
+Kathy Maloney I'm not sure if it would work. I don't know what material one of those balls are.
when u did the tear i did not see you add cement to the float , you added just to the patch . is that correct?
Ii m from India, I'm having pvc inflatable boat where there is a long patch about 8cm. Please can u help me out in this?
Hi there.. may I ask if I can also use the solvent that use for the pipe??
Typically PVC pipe cement cures rigid and is not flexible enough for vinyl repair.
Very informative, thank you!
What if there is a seem split on a curved part of the toy? Like behind the neck of a jet creations deer
Is there alternative material instead of PVC? or where to buy PVC material, how it should called? Thank you.
Most pool toys are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride). So you would want to use PVC to repair it. I usually use scrap vinyl from other toys. If you don't have any scrap, you can always buy one of those really cheap inflatable mats from the store to use as material.
@@HeathDragon Oh, thank you. I thought some kind of vinyl straps for car things like tuning can fits..
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.
Can i use the glue which comes with bike punture repair kit ??
Great ....I also patched my rubber boat in a simple way
How do you keep it from adhering to the other sidein the case of the same split or for that matter any other hole?
Occasionally the opposite sides will get glued together by accident. The glue I use takes a few minutes to set up so as long as you peel the two halves apart before it fully sets it won't stay stuck together.
Heath Dragon ✅
Having trouble. Im repaing a pinhole leak with HH 66 on my fyaryuu dragon's wing. I wait 24 hours before inflating it and there's a leak at the end of where the glue is. Any advice?
Is it on a seam? Did you use a patch?
@@HeathDragonIt's a very small leak on a seam and no, I did not use a patch.
@@HeathDragon Got a patch of clear vinyl on there. The recurring leak stopped. It was a tricky application with the pinch seam, but HH-66 gets the job done.
It's better than throwing them away.
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
Im dealing with this type of seam re-attachment right now,.. and its curved. Not sure I am going to be able to get it to seal up.
What kind of glue did you use?
I used HH-66.
How would I fix a semi circle split seam in an inflateable chair? It's in a sort of tricky location, so should I use silicon glue for flexibility or something else u can recommend?
I would recommend using vinyl glue, either HH-66 or Loctite's vinyl and fabric glue.
The glue you use, will it work on matte inflatable world toys? Can't be too careful
+xXShamwowXx This glue will work well on matte or shiny vinyl.
Thank you, gotta save my iw husky!
In the words of Phil Swift, “HOLY [CENSORED]! LOOK AT ALL THAT DAMAGE!”
What kind of repair patch did you use?
Can I use DAP contact cement because it says flexible bonds
I believe that is a rubber cement. It might work okay but probably wouldn't be super strong.
