After many years of (ab)use my trusty early model airhawk gave out the other day.

The problem was that the rubber around the bend of the valve had cracked - no way of getting a patch onto it :(

Before giving it up for dead - I tried using the coating material we use to seal earplugs with.

A few coats produced a perfect repair - It's only done a short run so far but seems fine.

If you have the same problem then I'll happily do the repair FOC (just cover the postage) :thumb2

Should add that this is the neoprene - I don't think it would work on the budget models..
