Change breakwater and cleaning of the air sacs in inflatable boat Orizon

In this inflatable boat Orizon had dislodged the breakwater and needed an immediate change.

A basic rule in such repairs is the air chamber to don't lose hardly any air during the repair, because if he has made the final gluing of the breakwater and the airlock loses enough air there's a chance not to be stuck that's right.

After we took the breakwater, we have seen great loss of air .We searched for him with the classical method of lathering and lost in the back cone from bottom, a point particularly vulnerable as there is a great friction with the water at this point and many times off and the external seams on this. In the end we opened all of the aid is to find the root of all evil (without doing superficial work) and strengthened internally and exotic cone for optimal effect.

Then we changed the old decorative cross blue movies over to the airlock, the brands and some of the films of the superstructure all new.

We continued the process of scrubbing and removing old adhesives in the points that we wanted to glue the tires. We used for the specific repair two single breakwaters 9cm quality Hyppalon Neoprene with a decorative blue cloth tape in the middle in order to be able to cover the old footprint of the breakwater. All the welds were carried out with two hands, glue , priming the one day of glue, and the following passage with one hand, glue and gluing.

Finally, we washed the boat Orizon with specialized cleaning fluids and we spent an emulsion of silicone for the best protection.
