Question Old Halcyon wing repair (advice needed)

[Bazzathemammoth]

Hi guys

I bought this beauty secondhand recently and found a pinhole in the wing. Whats the best way to patch it? TIA

depending on size, aquaseal or a tire patch. but talk to halcyon also.

Does it have a removable bladder?

Not that I can see. How do you tell?

That's a Halcyon Pioneer wing. Single bladder design.

Usually, there is a zipper somewhere, if the bladder is designed to be removable.

I have repaired a wing, where the bladder wasn't intended to be removed, but it was difficult, and not something I'd recommend to most.

Blob of aquaseal will hold for years. If the hole is somewhere that you can get to from the inside, too (through the inflator or dump port), then even better.

If you can take off a dump valve from it a tire patch on the inside will hold pretty much forever.
If not, a tire patch on the outside will hold just as well, but uglier.
