Does anybody know what will work to repair a rip/tear in an inflatable tube that goes down the hill in the snow? Let me know. I tried Gorilla Glue

I didn't use this on a pool but did on a yard vac that handles leaves and dirt. It has withstood a constant barrage of leaves over the last two seasons and is still hanging in there. It could possibly work for you in that application as long as it is facing up.

Try googling the tube manufacturer. Pool repair might work if you slip it into the rip and glue it on the inside surface of tube. Then another patch on the outside to sandwich the rip. Depends on tube material too.

I believe that you would have to use a patch and a lot of luck. It also takes a fairly long drying time for the patch so don't rush the drying time. I live in the south and we don't have a lot of snow so I have mostly used the patches on pool floats and liners.

Did you try the patch kit? In the instructions it also says you can use duct tape for a temporary fix.

Mine has been sitting outside all year and everything seems to be just fine. I brought the tunnel/chute in last winter and ran the chute through the washing machine and air-dried it, and it is fine. I left the plastic jumps/poles outside (and it was a HORRIBLE winter) and they are still working.

I called Intek, one of the largest manufacturers of air mattresses and vinyl pool equipment. They recommended using a fine grade sandpaper to remove the fabric covering around the tear and then patching the area. That sounds about right to me.

Mine didn't last one whole (first) winter either. I'm guessing the glue or whatever gave because an entire seam just came undone.

It will work, but a full tank of fluid only lasts about an hour or so on small flake. I do suggest a fan for extra lift for the flakes yo give a more accurate snow fall look. I suggest if you want want to get up on your roof a lot to just stick the tube into a gallon or larger sized fluid bottle or do not run it for long periods since you'll run out of fluid. The fkakes if I buy froggys frog extra dry stay around for a long time and cover the ground just fyi. Good idea to buy from froggys fog

Mine just collapsed last night, bringing the sides on the kennel down with it. Two panels have to be replaced now and a new roof has to be purchased. We had 6 inches of snow and another inch of ice on top. I didn't expect it to hold up.

We had a smaller version of what the kids call the "floating living room." We had a rip just like the one you are describing. The kids learned the lesson--DON"T STAND ON THE FLOOR WITH YOUR FULL WEIGHT. In terms of fixing it, I'd try Liquid Nails Clear. You can glue jello to dirt with that stuff. Worth a try...

Unfortunately, the industry does not provide adequate fixes for tubes that require more than small patch. I have had a large towable leak at the seams, which is unrepairable. I then researched vigorously to find a replacement tube, and was not successful. Most of what is out there as a replacement is close to the price of new one, especially when they are on sale or become clearance items. The only other resource might be to check out the pool patches for soft sided lined pools. Those patch kits are larger, and the bonding glue is impressively strong.

what you are looking for is fiber fix. one time use stuff, epoxy embedded that cures quickly.

I just ordered this cart so I can't say much about tire durability for this cart, but I have a lot of long-time experience with outdoor equipment with small pneumatic tires. Almost all have gone flat eventually (some sooner, some later) whether stored indoors or outside. I've found that Slime Sealant is an excellent solution for flat tires of this type and as a preventative for new tires. Amazon carries this product and it's also available at bike shops and at some big-box retailers.

Model glue won't work. You can use epoxy or super glue. Something like Gorilla Glue would also work.

This was exactly my application and the Slime tube works fine. You do have to hang on to the valve stem so you don't lose it. I could not get the tube and stem to line up so my valve stem is not accessible since I inflated the tube and promptly lost the stem (inside the tire and wheel). That was a year and a half ago and the tube has not lost any air.

I repaired some mesh in a cat carrier using a combination of sewing mesh together reinforced by crazy glue. Worked great. Looks psychedelic!

Sorry never used it in the park as yetI would imagine it could wreck the underground piping....if you are extremely unlucky :(

I don't know if it will or not, but the repair I used it for... nothing else worked. Then I tried Gorilla Epoxy and it worked and has been working since Christmas time. I would definitely give it a shot. I would recommend keeping pressure on it after you glue it for at least five minutes and then letting it dry for at least 24 hours before you try it. I actually waited 48 hours, but I had such bad luck with other products before, that I allowed extra time, though I think it would have worked. Also - after I put the epoxy inside the area that broke off, I also sealed it on the outside with the epoxy, to just make sure. It is somewhat clear, so I would imaging if you are running water, you wouldn't see that extra layer of epoxy on the outside.

We fixed our rockets with duct tape. Hope that helps. Signed - Another user.
