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.
See the next page for this procedure. To fix a hole or tear, follow the steps listed
below.
1. For best results, apply patch to a clean, dry surface and with a temperature of
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.
