Repairing Tears and Holes in Pontoon Bladders

If your pontoon bladder becomes torn or punctured, use the enclosed patches to fix it. It may be necessary to take the pontoon bladder out of the pontoon skin. Look in the Troubleshooting section on the next page for this procedure. To fix a hole or tear, follow the steps listed below.

1.For best results, it is important to apply patch to a clean, dry surface and that the surface temperature is 50° F or warmer.

2.Use an alcohol prep pad to clean the surface to be repaired. If you do not have an alcohol prep pad, use a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. After cleaning, allow the surface to dry completely.

3.Cut a patch to the correct size with scissors. Allow for the patch size to extend one inch beyond all edges of the tear. Cut the patch with rounded corners. This will make it difficult for the corners to peel up after it is attached.

4.Peel back 1/8"-1/4" of paper backing and position and anchor the exposed patch edge, allowing the patch to extend 1 inch beyond all edges of the tear.

5.Slowly peel the paper backing while carefully applying the patch over the tear. Take care to avoid air bubbles.

6.Rub the patch firmly for proper adhesion and allow to cure for 4 hours before use.

Extend patch one inch beyond tear
