Is there any way to separate or "unglue" bladder material that has been exposed to intense heat? I have a bladder with this problem and I tried to separate it with hair dryer heat and it worked, but not in all spots. I think maybe I could do a tiny cut on the bladder and apply a chemical on the inside of the bladder to separate the bonded material. Maybe alcohol would work?
I know I should buy a new bladder but it's an old kite and I can't receive packages where I am.
