Have some older kite bladders that recently have had the valves start to seperate from the main bladder.. whats the best adhesive to use on bladders .. i've heard everything from super glue to contact cement to pvc glue.

i tried some pvc glue on a bladder once and it melted the bladder. not sure if there are different grades of pvc adhesive.

thanks!

i tried:

pvc cement

super glue

contact cement

rubber cement


the only one that formed a bond was pvc cement, but it really withered up the bladder material.

super glue didnt bond at all... not even a bit. maybe i need to prep the surface or something ..

the other 2 bonded OK, but peeled off with some pressure.

I am going to pick up a pack from KiteFix per Chris's suggestion.
