I have developed methods for
repairing kite bladders
with little or no compromise in
strength or shape.
If you have any problem with any areas I
repair, I will redo free of charge.

Option 1. You remove bladder

Option 2. Send me the entire

How to remove
leading edge bladder
1. Open
the end tips on the leading edge (note the mechanism for
reinsertion).
2. Carefully
pull out the end of the bladder about 6” to 8”
3. Tie
a line to each end of the bladder.
(Allow enough line to reach 1 to 2 feet beyond the access near the
center)
4. Carefully
pull the bladder from the center access opening so the line comes
thru the access.
5. Untie
the line from the tip of the bladder and leave the line in the L.E.
6. Secure
the line so it remains in the pocket to assist in reinsertion.
7. Repeat
steps 1 thru 6 for the other side of the leading edge.
8. Be
sure to secure lines so they remain in the pocket to assist in
reinsertion.
