Bladder valve glue in the UK?

Postby Mike101 » Tue Oct 20, 2020 11:05 am

Can someone send me a link to a suitable product please.

I've read 3m 5200 or aquaseal but I dont know if aquaseal is wetsuits only, is always suitable for bladder repair or has different formulas?

I cant find 3m 5200 in the UK unless it's in 2x375ml cartridges and thats cheaper than ordering a suitable 50ml tube, as they seem to be USA only.

Will 28g do all the valves on 2x 5strut kites? 20 valves total?

I'm not sure. I'd order two then, it's thick stuff and also the packaging/transport cost counts (but remains the same for two).

Aquasure is recommended, I've used it to seal the edges of stick on replacement valves.
I store it in the freezer.
