the bladder was trying to pop out beside the valve on my havoc so I glued the base of the valve(/ the bladder) to the leading edge material. problem fixed...temporarilly. But now i can hear a bladder leak near the other valve so I want to pull the bladder out but can't as first valve is glued.. what can i use to dissolve or melt the unlabelled glue i used that came with the kite? (07 12m havoc) Thanks. help appreciated as can't afford shop.
Alcohol wipes, or maybe metho. Get yourself some Tear Aid (Type A), great stuff for repairing bladders, cut a ring that fits around your valve and stick it back on.
just used some nail polish remover. worked quickly and easily. hope it hasn't damaged the bladder or the valve rubber as the rubber around the base of the valve is now a bit wrinkly and the edges of the hole into the bladder is cloudy.. Any ideas?????? I'll try glu it in the morning but it looks tricky with the wrinkles.
I'm no expert, but I imagine the acetone in the nail polish remover is dissolving your bladder material, and the glue under the valve. I'd clean it off asap with water or alcohol (methylated spirits). Acetone is a strong solvent. You must be hard core!
