hey guys im having trouble putting my leading edge blader back in after a repair, is there a trick to it ? i cant find any threads or vids on how to actualy put it back in ? any help would be great :)

its easier to get it back in with string tied to one end and feed it through. Also talcom powder helps it slide into place easier. Only half inflate it the first time, then massage it to remove any creases,kinks or twists.

www.flyozone.com check the videos easy as, even though you may not have an ozone the same method applies also another pair of hands helps, when its back in just partial inflate to make sure you havnt any twists, if your struggling ill give you the full rundown,

it's important that you get the bladder all the way to the end. Not near the end, all the way. with some you have to sort of put the end thru a loop that you don't even know is in there and then fold it back towards the middle of the kite again to hold it in place. You need to stick your finger in and have a good feel around to see if the loop thingy is in there. and even if the loop thingy is there, it's not that easy to get it in. It could be in all kites, but I know it's in the Ozones.

Put the bladder in a bag with baby powder and shake to get good coverage.

The Kite bladder repair vid,
Take note how he uses a bit of cardboard to keep the bladder flat as its being pulled back thru... to prevent accidental twisting...
