Aqua seal
Hey guys. I searched but couldn't find a real answer. And I'm the only kiter in my area ( that I've ever seen), so I turn to you guys. I basically
have 36 valves that need to be reattached to their bladders. My question is how many 3/4 oz tubes of aqua seal will this take? Or should I go ahead
and buy the large 8 oz tube? I can't find any locally as I'm not in what I'd call a big city. So I need to figure out how much to buy because I may
have to order online. Thanks

Jeff at www.ProKiteSurf.com / www.FixMyKite.com stocks Aquaseal and can probably give you a good guesstimate on how much you will need for 36 valves.

Dont use aquaseal! All the valves will peel off after a season, and you'll have to redo it all.
This is the only glue that actually works....It takes 24 hours to cure but your valves wont come off again.

Well for anyone in the future that this info could help:
One tube of aquaseal (3/4 oz) went through 36 valves. :D
So far the seal has worked good. I'm hoping itll last a few years, I'll post when and if it does wear out.
