Holes in seams are by far the most common occurrence when repairs need to be done on jumping castles. Due to the continuous jumping on the jumping castle, the seams tear away over time. Even though some inflatables come with a patch kit that can be used in most cases, you will quickly learn that it is unfortunately not that effective. However, there is another way of repairing your jumping castle. Just follow the instructionsbelow, and in no time your kids will be busy jumping again.

• Locate the exact position of the leak . Put a mixture of water and soap into a spray bottle and spray it liberally all along the seams of the jumping castle. The solution will start to bubble up on the position where the leak is located. Notice where the hole is.
• The hole must be prepared for patching . Before attempting to patch the seam, ensure that the jumping castle is completely deflated, and also that the seam is dry. Make sure to thoroughly clean the rubber (rubbing alcohol can be used for this).
• Plumber’s goop must be applied next, liberally. After application, let it dry for approximately 15 minutes. To ensure an extra layer of protection when the jumping castle is pressurized, also apply this goop to the inside of the seam.
• The jumping castle can now be inflated halfway with air. After about 30 minutes, the goop should be dried completely.
• The jumping castle can now be inflated completely. To ensure that the hole is indeed fixed, use the water and soap mixture to spray the seam a last time.

Thus, for an effective way to repair your jumping castle, simply follow the easy instructions above.
