Tear Aid Bladder patches are the best repair material to seal leaks and small cuts in bladders as well as bladder blowouts. These patches are self stick (peel & stick) and can be used to patch any bladder material or color. The specially formulated adhesive is incredibly durable, making for a quick repair.
