Mention it to the manufacturer as I bet they will make it right.

I allready wrote a mail

Good hopefully they correct the issue!

I don't know if its feasible. I would need to ship it back to china for repairs, and thats too expensive. I repair it on my own for now and hope they offer some discount or something. But I was really sad. Its like getting a battery operated toy for Christmas with no batteries included and you have to wait for the holidays to be over to buy some. And I wait for the pvc to dry now, not for some batteries.

At least a discount or refund would at least be better than nothing or them sending out a replacement free of charge.

sad... I am sorry for that. if in doubt use pattex transparent

No, i use liquid pvc for these repairs now. I found some at an onlinestore for boat repairs

were you already successfull in reanimating the dino?

Yes, i had to cut him open glue pvc strips inside and then close him up again. The I thought irs okay now but i suddenly heart a pffsh and i donr know why but the pontons loose air into the mainbody. I don't know why. And the closing Strips on the belly isnt air tight it loosens air over the time but there im going to put liquid pvc over it to seal. But in the end it worked i had some wonderful bouncy rides on him now. I seal him later.

congrats.. still... quality control must have been asleep -.-

what brand of glue do you use? you have any source for PVC strips or sheet except leftovers from other inflatables (I am quite short on thesde since I tend mend and repair everything...)

The current work is made with Fixid 1k (has to be written with a D), other glue i use is SABA Contact T70 and a cold welding agent for garden ponds. The most work, that was also done on other toys, were made with t70. As repair PVC i order PVC from ebay => https://www.ebay.de/itm/202410263730 PVC like this was used on allmost any repair, only the first repairs where made with black pond PVC because its readily avialable in home improvement stores.

cool thanks, I tried pond vinyl sheet (Teichfolie) and that was.... meh -.- ist that pvc stuff from ebay you had ordered soft? does the fixid stay flexible for a long long time?

For Fixid i dont have longtime experience, only for T70 and its okay, it gets stiff with the time but not stiff like a piece of abs plastic or so. Only my IW Zebra started a new leak beside the strip because the PVC is much less flexible than the PVC of current IW toys.
