[I would like to hear from any one with a long term successfull method of Taylor float leak repair. I had one of my floats secured too close to a pier piling and the result was an abrasion caused by wave action that eventually became a leak. I now have two places on the float in need of repair. One place is at the site of the abrasion and the other is an eighth inch drill hole needed for air to drain the water out. Any suggestions?]

| rayhook@verizon.net | Chan, I have successfully repaired leaks and bonded two pipes to gether using a section of the bells we cut off the ends of the pvc and throw away when building floats. On one ocasion I split the bell and slipped it over the pipe. Other times I cut the pipe and slipped the bell on one side and then slipped it down on the other side. The later seemed stronger but the glue job is messy. Eather way it stopped small leaks. Ray | Jul 27, 2006 11:59 AM |
| bestoysters@rivnet.net | Chan: You can cut a piece of three inch pvc pipe long enough to cover the rupture, plus an inch or two, split it from end to end - clean the base material, sandpaper it if necessary, glue the patch over the injury { use primer } and clamp it to the float with cable ties about every four inches D. | Sep 5, 2006 5:48 PM |
