Small Bubbling Leak

My Torus 26 seems to have sprung a leak in the bladder. There is a fine line of bubbles coming out now :depressed:

Can you repair this?

Jim,

Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your wing. Without seeing the wing I can't comment on what might be the problem.

Before you return the wing I'd suggest inflating it and leaving it overnight. It's not uncommon for air that's trapped between the bladder and the outer shell to "bubble out" when first inflated. If your wing stays full over night there's no leak, if it does not we need to see it.

With conventional wings that have separate inner bladders, like the Torus, the worst case is usually limited to replacing the bladder.
