I got the valve repair placed back in the leading edge of the kite I have in the garage for repairs.
It held, but then I could hear the valve on the other side of the kite leaking.
In order to get to that valve, I had to pull the center strut valve and the main fill valve.
The center strut valve was also coming off the bladder.
It looks like someone already fixed the main inflation valve.
I'll let these sit and cure for 24 hours and then get the bladder reinstalled and pressure tested.
The valves in the struts don't have nearly as much room to move around - so those typically don't let go like the leading edge valves. But we shall see.
