Has anyone had any success repairing fenders? I have one with a small hole- looks like somthing sharp- maybe a nail- punctured it, and another one with a leaky valve. Anyone have any hints or do I junk them?

I used Sikaflex (white) on a fender which had burned through on a hot exhaust. Simply filled the cavity about 2" long x 1/2" wide and covered the material with PVC tape just to get a smooth surface. Peeled tape off after a couple of days. Worked perfectly, hardly notices. Has remained inflated for four years. Sikaflex is polyurethane. Silicone rubber would not have done the job.
