I had a valve start leaking on one of my strut bladders. I was able to remote the strut bladder and valve and was wondering what glue I could pick up at Home Depot or Target to reattach the valve to the bladder. Would the glue from a bike tire patch kit work?
Thx, Pete

I use contact cement

I have used this product on recommendation from a kite shop with success: https://www.mcnett.com/gearaid/seam-grip#10510

Aquaseal is another urethane glue that you can get at a scuba store. I have used it and it works well. Not cheap, keeps well in the freezer.

I use aquaseal or seam grip and add a couple of drops of cotol for really fast drying and adhesion time. Make sure to remove existing old glue, sand lightly to make adhesion stronger, clean mating surfaces thoroughly with light denatured alcohol.

I have used several times the Self Stick Valves by FixMyKite.com

Best option in my opinion.

These 'valve donuts' look kinda cool over at kiteaid.com. Haven't used them personally but I'm planning on getting some to repair my 10m Park.

Thanks for the info. I needed a quick fix so I got some Loctite Adhesive for mending plastic and nylon at Home Depot and it seemed to work well.

By the way, ..., you can get seamgrip or aqua seal at REI and Big 5 if any of the kite stores don't carry them
