I'd say you had the most informative contents for all inflatable lovers/enthusiast out there 😊❤, I wonder if you could do a video showing how to fold properly inflatables especially that huge IW green dragon of yours 😃
Do you know the best way to restore the paint on inflatables? The paint on my old toys is chipped and smeared in places.
what about when the toy material becomes hard? its starts to form leaks from the seams...what can fix this problem that acts like a virus upon inflatables?
Mine IW Hyena from 2016 got sick the same problem :(
Plasticizer like ATBS should help I guess
Interesting thank you for the information
I had the very unfortunate experience of having what seems like most of the belly seam on a HP horse seeming to be a cold weld or contaminated. That seam tees extremely easily, and that horse is still not airtight because I think my repairs aren’t great. Was my first toy and so I didn’t know about any of this stuff or how to repair things.
I’m getting another one and having it reinforced fully because I really don’t trust these toys now. Very bad experience for me, here’s hoping not all toys are like this.
Could heat welding be used to repair a seam split?
Yes, that is an option.
I'm quite familiar with these given the number of one-offs I've been wrangling. Paint contamination seems to be the one problem that can't be fully licked along with FOD, although I am seeing less weld burn and cold welds.
I had a 2 meter beachball. I wanted to deflate and my elbow was on to seam near the valve. The the seam opend up and i fel trough the seam on my back on the floor. This really hurts. But i have learn from it. Place a soft object underneath the ball like a matras. Then it wil not hurt so much. I will not repair it again. But i can use the beachball now to repear other inflateble.
I had a defect on the new inflatable world gryphon it had a winkle in the seam on the neck, and on the inflatable world inflatable whale 5m had a hot seam on the back, luckily I easily repaired both of them with vinyl cement and a patch of vinyl sent by inflatable world
