Pinhole woes
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2016 12:21 am
I'm calling out for expertise,
My 12m Switchblade, which I may or may not have tomahawked into a guard tower, has a pinhole in the leading edge. This is what i have done so far:
Pumped it up and pinched off the struts, in the morning the LE was limp and the struts were solid.
Pumped it up again and used soap water to locate bubbles, which I found between the second and third struts on the LE where the bridle is sewn into the fabric.
Pulled the LE and broke into the towns kiddy pool, going over every inch of the thing by pumping up and holding under water. I double checked the whole LE and triple checked the area where thought the hole was. All I found was that I should have worn my wetsuit.
Where do i go from here?
Thanks,
matt
