Leaky Bladder (BC)

[FyVe]

my BC has a Leak in the bladder, pretty sure it's not from any of the valves on it, but will have to check it in the pool to see where it comes from. any ways to fix it? it is minor (leaks slowly)
tire patch?

If it is the nylon cordura with a urathane coating on the inside, a dab of Aquaseal should do the job.

I had an old Dacor Bc that had the co2 cartridge that had to come out and I fixed it with a water bed patch

[FyVe]

so it's gonna be either aquaseal or a patch of some sort. shouldint cost much then.
shops do this, right?
thanks for the help

You might be able to get a replacement bladder for it.

[FyVe]

that would be more expensive than fixing it, unless zeagle covers that?

My BC developed a couple of leaks a month or so ago, Mixed up a bottle of dish soap/water in a spritzer bottle, and misted it over the bladder. Found the leak in a couple of minutes. Tried the pool and bathtub earler and was unsucessful at finding the leak.
Marked the area with crayon, and let the BC dry. Fixed it with aquaseal, using Cotol 240 beforehand as a cleaner/prep.
BC has been through 10-15 dives with no issues since.

I punctured my old BC with a spear (don't ask). I just used a little 5200 from 3m. It works good as new.

I knew I should have left that part out. Ok, so I didn't stone the fish. It was still pretty lively as I tried to get 'hold of it and finish the job. He got a couple of good whacks in, before the fight was over.
