Re: Sealing Ram Air Kites with Dissolved Silicone

To jyka,

Did you remove the bladders before treatment?

If you did not could you provide the solvent you used that did not affect the bladders.

Any information on solvents versus bladders would be interesting.

Re: Sealing Ram Air Kites with Dissolved Silicone

To kiteexpert

Could you provide some examples of modern clear construction adhesives that are for sale today?

Do you think PU glue increases the tear strength of the cloth. Silicone seals the cloth well but does not appear to increase the tear resistance by much if at all.

Lengthen the depower system fully and make sure some slack exists in the emergency release line. If the line is too tight you may be activating...
