Inflate and Test Repair

What happens here

Once the patch is securely applied and smoothed, allow the adhesive to cure for the recommended time (check product instructions, typically a few minutes to several hours). Then, slowly inflate the pool toy to its full capacity. Submerge the repaired area, or the entire toy if possible, into water (e.g., a bathtub or pool). Observe closely for any streams of bubbles, which would indicate a remaining leak. If no bubbles appear, the repair is successful.

Goal: After allowing some time for the adhesive to set, inflate the pool toy and then submerge it in water to check for any remaining leaks.
