Why Titanium: Titanium is highly valued for its high tensile strength, as well as its light weight, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It’s as strong as steel but 50% lighter giving it a greater Strength to Weight Ratio. Titanium is the best material to resist the corrosion performance of seawater at room temperature, and it has excellent corrosion resistance even in polluted seawater and hot seawater. The unparalleled performance of titanium in marine settings has led engineers to refer to it as “ocean metal”. While other metals such as steel, copper, and brass are prone to pitting, crevice corrosion, and microbiologically influenced corrosion, titanium is unique in its resistance to the corroding effects of saltwater and the marine atmospheric environment.

Airtime STICKIES Mini Repair Kit

Rick — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 16:45:40 +0000

A super small compact kit everyone should have in their kite bag or glove box.

Kite includes:10 white ‘peel and stick’ Dacron rounds (1 7/8″ diameter)
10 black ‘peel and stick’ Dacron rounds (1 7/8″ diameter)
5 99% alcohol wipes

Leading edge and strut sleeve repairs: Fix small holes that aren’t structural. Recommended to place one round behind the fabric and one round on the outside. A little bit of heat will help set the adhesive. PRO TIP – use magic markers to color the white Dacron to match your canopy color.

Canopy repairs: Fix small holes and tears in the canopy. Recommended to sandwich the damage by putting a round on each side of the canopy. If the tear is longer than 1 1/2″ you can use several rounds on a single tear. PRO TIP – use magic markers to color the white Dacron to match your canopy color.

Bladder repairs: Out of desperation (aren’t we all desperate when it’s windy) we’ve used the Dacron rounds to patch holes in leaking bladders and they worked.

Airtime Nylon Repair Tape 2″ x 25′

Rick — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 05:51:32 +0000

Nylon repair tape is most often used when you need to repair large tears in the canopy. The tape is not as heavy duty as the Dacron repair tape but the lighter weight is beneficial when you need to use a lot of it. The tape can be removed easily when you decide to have the kite professionally repaired and doesn’t leave a residue as other tapes do. Do yourself a favor and never use duct tape on your kite. 2″ x 25′ roll.

Airtime Dacron Repair Tape – Black

Rick — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 05:51:30 +0000

60″ of 2″ wide kite repair tape. Dacron fabric with a pressure sensitive adhesive meant for marine application. Taping minor damage is always the first choice when fixing a kite yourself. Tape is easy to use, the kite is ready for use immediately, and if you don’t do it perfect you can pull it off and try again. We recommend you tape both sides of a damage panel and that you check the tape after every session to make sure it hasn’t released from the fabric. If black isn’t your color we recommend using white Dacron repair tape and coloring it in with magic markers.
