SteveAJones Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The problem is any attempt to repair the leak may devalue the item further. Without knowing how bad the leak is, I would try to repair it in a non-permanent fashion first. For example, placing a removable sticker over the leak. Failing that, you'll have to resort to applying a clear epoxy sealant very sparingly with a small brush and hope for the best. Make a mess of it and you'll ruin the resale value of the item.

Pb! Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 hi zepphile what is fix a flat? Fix-a-flat is sold in auto-parts stores. It is kind of like a spray that will temporarily inflate a flat tire. Unfortunately the Dirigible Edition was not a financial success and is no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazz3 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't try fixing it it will ruin the value of it.leave it alone just my 1 cent lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It depends on what he wants to do with it. Personally I'd fix it (depending on how big the hole is), blow it up, and hang it from the ceiling. From an investment standpoint, yes, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
