How to install a fixmykite.com self stick valve
1. Valve Removal: If replacing valve, carefully peel off old valve. If old valve does peel off, cut around circumference of valve to remove
2. Cleaning: Wipe area where valve will be placed with provided alcohol swab. DRY COMPLETELY WITH A CLEAN PAPER TOWEL.
3. Peel and Stick: Lay bladder out flat. If possible, have a friend lightly hold bladder on table or other smooth even surface. Peel off paper backing, center valve over hole, and place valve on bladder.
4. Press: Press valve from center outward to remove air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion and creases.
*Pro Tip- Use a hair dryer to heat the valve. This makes it easier to remove the valve. After placement of the Fixmykite self stick valve use the hair dryer again to warm the adhesive. Press the valve from the center out massaging and stretching creating positive adhesion. Be careful not to overheat the bladder or new valve.
FixMyKite.com introduces the Select Brand series of replacement valves. The FixMyKite.com RRD One Pump Kiteboarding Valve replaces valves on all RRD kite models.
MEGA Option: The MEGA valve option actually refers to the PATCH SIZE as being Mega. It’s a 4” diameter as opposed to the standard valve which has a 3” diameter. This extra inch means 77% more adhesive base surface area than the standard valve, though, being a circle, so it’s a big difference. The Main purpose for a MEGA-patch valve is for when the valve must but cut from the bladder leaving a larger hole than if the old valve just peeled off. It’s also useful if there are tears or warping in the bladder material next to the hole where the valve should be placed.
