Inflatable Paddleboard Repair - Fixing a Over-Inflated SUP Paddleboard That Bursted At The Seam

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

Great video. So necessary because the seam of my Red Paddle Co board exploded at the front. Pumped up to only 17 psi. At the same time the skegs fell off and so did the luggage points. Red says it's because it was stored in a hot place, in its bag in the corner of my bedroom in Brazil, Many thanks.

What kind of material could I use for a patch in an emergency situation??

[@gashopperinc]

I would have a repair kit on hand for emergency situations. They have the patches and 1 part repair glue in them.

Mate that is a job well done and as a new paddle boarder you showed me a few things I would not of done if I needed to repair it. Thank you and enjoyed the video very educational. You sure know your stuff. I wanted to ask as I can see you know paddle boards but on a cold day to a hot day can it diminish psi or add psi depending on a hot to cold day 😊

[@gashopperinc]

Thank you!!! Just sharing the knowledge of a dieing industry. Yes, the board will shrink on colder days and will expand on hotter days. Have to keep an eye on them if there being kept inflated all the time and stored outdoors. Especially on the hot days.

Dear GasHopper Inc., what kind of compressor didyou use in this video? Thanks in advance!

[@gashopperinc]

Custom made air hose connector, connected to our shop compressor.

@@gashopperinc thank you! I thought it but what is the exact type of that? Thank you again! 😊🙏

[@gashopperinc]

Well since your asking, 😆, it's an old Brunner Air Compressor. Single piston operation. Tank was made in 1904 and electric motor on it is from 1950's. Got from a car dealership that was upgrading their system. Was told if I get it restored from last service tech, it will outlast my kids. But, will cost a bit of money that isn't in the budget yet to fix. But maybe one day. 🤔

Hi, what glue did you use?

[@gashopperinc]

2 part glues are preferred

[@pablola1001]

@@gashopperinc please which one? the specific make and model of glue.

[@gashopperinc]

@@pablola1001 Stabond UK-148 or Zodiac Z7096 Plastomere PVC Glue is the only 2 glues we use in the shop here.

@@gashopperinc Thanks, that's what I needed as well. My SUP had a blowout, fortunately it was on the long side, which should make substantially easier than what you had to do on the end. You have infinite patience. Impressed!!
