Nozzle Repair

I have a silicone double balloon nozzle that Blew a gasket, LOL.

How do I repair it ? Silicone seal or cray glue or ?

I cannot buy another one, as it costs too much.

Please help

NOT crazy glue.

One of the silicone seals like RTV silicone MIGHT work but the problem is that the balloons have to inflate and stretch. That's where the repair will fail. You also need to clean the repair site extremely well. Washing with a detergent followed by either alcohol or acetone to TOTALLY dry the surface is imperative.

Let the repair cure for at least 24 hours before use.

A trip to home depot might help. There is construction grade adhesive in silicone; they also have silicone shower and tub sealant, with which I'm now way too familiar since we installed shower doors ourselves, what I'm saying is that they have all kinds of "grades," some advertised as more waterproof, others advertised as more "gluey;" perhaps a trip to a marine hardware store, and a sealant for use below the water line that also remains flexible, and is made of silicone, would do...

I don't think you will find any Home Depot silicone caulking products that will stick to cured silicone. But, a trip to an auto parts store will get you what you need: Locktite silicone gasket maker. About $2.99 for a tube. Roll the tube back on itself, pick off any loose pieces of the original sealant, and clean the areas that are to be re-sealed with rubbing alcohol (or vodka) When dry, put a small bead of the gasket maker on the end of the balloon and then roll the tube back over it. The new joint should be stronger than the one that you lost. (Many of the silicone inflatables on the market have pretty crappy quality control)

Sil-Poxy. Order it online. It stretches and sticks well enough to fix them.

The silicone nozzles I have had always seem to tear at the same spot near the base of the balloon. I have repaired mine more than once with Permatex Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant. It works very well. I believe you can find it at just about any auto parts store or home improvement such as Lowes or Home Depot.

You will need high quality silicone caulk/sealer, like the kind used for aquariums.

You need to be absolutely certain that caulk/sealer that you use is SAFE for aquariums. The materials used on windows and to seal external surfaces almost always contain highly toxic anti-fungal/anti-mold ingredients. A surprising number of people have been made seriously ill by using the products designed for outside use to repair gaskets on dishwashers. The water leaches some of the highly toxic additives out and leaves them as residue on whatever is inside the dishwasher. So DO NOT EVER use products intended for outdoor use on anything that may ever come in contact with you, or your pets.
