    Repairing snipped bladder

    I have a brand new bladder that has the very top (tip), snipped off. Anybody got suggestions on how to repair this? I was thinking of sewing and gluing it. And before you ask....I have no idea how the top got snipped off. I still look at it and say...WTF. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

      Yeah. I will try to make a patch up...maybe in the shape of a spider. I hope this works. Getting bladders delivered to Toronto is quite pricey, so I try to keep all the ones I have. I currently have 2 bladders with 3 patches each. Those are both leaking again.

        Why not try Genesport in Montreal for your bladders. Their bladders are as good as any from the USA. I have them in some of my bags and get good response from them.

              Now I remember why I did not go through Genesport. They do not respond to my e-mails. I can only try so hard to give them my business. Thanks anyways REB. I think this company no longer exists, the website can't be found now. I will try a phone call tomorrow.

                  Oh no..... The 1 800 number is out of service. 1 800 361 6173. Would you happen to have another number? Thanks.

                    I have a connection that lives on the outskirt of Montreal and has dealt with Genesport themselves. I gave them a call today. It is believed that Genesport is in the process of moving to a new location. Montreal city is taking back many of the old buildings in the area of the city where Genesport was operating. So it is now a wait and see where Genesport sets up. Ain't that a bitch???

                        I've purchased the nice, bouncy, orange EverLast bladders before from Forza sports. I know you're concerned with shipping, and I can't address that, but those bladders are the absolute best. They are the type of rubber that will slowly leak air over the period of a week or two, but they're fantastic.

                        Forza Sports started from humble beginnings in 2008 and now offers a huge product assortment of the finest boxing, outdoors, fitness, and team sports brands. Our 115,000 sq. ft. facility is located in beautiful Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania, and our amazing Forzasports.com customer service team looks forward to serving you.

                          Thanks PunchDrummer. That site has the xs ringside ultra rebound bag I have been thinking of buying for $50. That bag is $150 in Toronto.
