Re: Ball leak/How to fix

Buy a rubber patch. Lots of duct tape will work, too. Don't make anymore holes.

Re: Ball leak/How to fix

When I get to the shop this evening, I'll try to track down the exact name of the product but this may be enough info to help you.
The name of the product:
Vinyl Plastic Repair Kit
Boxer Adhesives
MFGD. by
Union Laboratories, Inc.
5600 N. Preston
Flagstaff, AZ 86004
Cat. No. 557

Our sticker price was $2.99

The adhesive was placed over the hole and left to dry.
When it was dry, we then added the plastic patch as a secondary seal.
It shows waterbed mattresses, floaties, air mattresses, and beach balls as examples of what can be repaired.

Re: Ball leak/How to fix

Our ball...ah, popped. So we were refilling it, and planned to used duct tape or the like, when it...popped. Even more. So now our ball has a 4 ft. gash in it
