Does anyone know how to temporarily repair a hole in a bladder?
I have an inner tube repair kit (only about 30 years old) that I think is still good. Primarily for bicycles and autimobiles but might be able to hold a bladder's pressure.
I believe they might still be available at hardware stores and bicycle shops.
It is a "cold" patch, applied by roughing up the rubber and then applying the adhesive and rubber patch.
Granted, I do not know anything about bladders or slides, but I have patched a lot of things with this kit.
For example: What is a slide? A bladder? Ain't got one of those on our coach. When we get a hole I apply some wood paste to the log hole. >:D :))
Oh, another thought. If bladder pressure is low try some clear packing tape over the hole, after wiping the area clean with alcohol.
3M heavy duty packing tape usually available at Walmart or a hardware store.
I used this stuff on a small pin hole leak. It lasted several months until I had the bladder repaired.

Thanks for the hints. We just talked with FT and they suggest "shorting" the lines so we can get the slides closed. This worked so we can at least get on the road and get it fixed! On the road again, the Rollin O's.

Used the kit to repair a tear/hole. Lasted about 3 months until he could get the bladder replaced. Seemed to hold up well. Not sure about long term repair results.
I have a kit in my tool box just in case.
