Inflatables are manufactured using a wide variety of materials. Some of the possibilities include rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), neoprene, vinyl, polyester, and canvas. Unfortunately, not every repair kit can be used to repair every type of material. Before purchasing, make sure the repair kit that you’re considering can repair the type of material your inflatable is made of. Repair The first step you’ll need to do is figure out if your yard inflatable’s blower is working. Plug your inflatable directly into an outlet, bypassing any outdoor inflatable timersyou may be using. If you still don’t get any action from your blower, try a different outlet if possible or at least plug another device into the same outlet to make sure the outlet is live.

The top two elements to consider when shopping for an inflatables repair kit are the type of material that you want to repair and the type of repair you want to do. Material Place the patch on the leak. Press the patch down, working from the center out to the edges to ensure a good seal. Prepare the patch. Cut a patch that sufficiently covers the hole. It’s best to round the corners because rounded corners are less likely to get caught on something and tear the patch. Finding and permanently stopping a leak might seem daunting, but it’s pretty simple. In fact, you probably learned all the skills you need while in preschool: it's just a matter of cutting and pasting. Although each type of repair kit involves a slightly different process, the steps are generally the same. Since most repair kits for inflatables contain flammable adhesive, it’s important to store the repair kit away from any heat source. FAQ Q. How do inflatables get damaged?

Patch: This is the most common repair method and is suitable for most types of damage. In essence, you’re gluing a patch in place using a very strong adhesive that bonds the patch to the inflatable.Odor: The adhesive in most repair kits has a strong, unpleasant odor. If you’re sensitive to certain smells, look for a repair kit that has a more tolerable odor. Let the adhesive set. If necessary, let the adhesive set for the designated period of time before applying the patch. Underwater application: Most repair kits require the surface to be clean and dry before applying the patch. In some instances, this just isn't possible. If you have a leak that’s underwater, you need a repair kit that is specifically designed to perform repairs when the material is wet. Clean and dry the area around the leak. This is very important because any grease or dirt that isn’t removed from the inflatable will prevent an airtight seal, which may require you to patch the patch.
