[black][size 3]I do think I've got the leak in my Fat Cat fixed. It's still full pressure 10 hours later. This time instead of immersing in the tub I used soapy water. I still could't find it until I thought I felt a coolness on my wet soapy hand. Yes, I could feel air escaping slowly. The soapy solution was not working particularly well so I got some cream rinse and applied it to the general area. The thickness of the cream rinse was just the thing. As I spread it over the suspected area a little tiny volcano formed and the pin hole leak was pin-pointed and marked with a marker. [/size][/black][black][size 3]I patched it with a glaze of Marine Goop. I just squeeze out 1/4" of Goop then wet my finger and spread it over the effected area. This stuff fixed a seam leak in the backrest of my other float tube and also resurrected my neoprene waders.

[black][size 3]Now into the second day and the pontoon is just as hard as the other one. Strangely enough the leak appeared on the bottom of the bladder. No wonder I had a hard time finding it.[/size][/black]
