How to repair a vinyl softub
wrote:
Hi,
My softub is vinyl and I am having a heck of a time battling wrinkes.
I have used a hot blow dryer, boiling water, but after they both cool
off the wrinkles reappear.I even put brinks on the wrinkles to try to
flatten them. I also tried a plunger with no positive results. I'm
now looking at Plan B - I'm thinking of cutting out the centre vinyl
piece (where all the wrinkles are) and replacing it with a big round
vinyl patch. The inside diameter of my vinyl softub is 152 cm (holds
1000 litres of water) so I think a partial vinyl replacement should be
achievable. I've never worked with vinyl or know what would be good
waterproof bonding substance to use to attached the new vinyl to the
old vinyl. However, I would assume it should be no different than
repairing a vinyl swimming pool liner? I'm willing to do this on my
own, however, I need some guidance and helpful tips. Thanks so much,
in advance. Barb R.
