Intex AG Blow up ring problems

[aylad]

I don't have any ideas for you, but just wanted to let you know your post is being read, and hopefully some of the folks that have good info will chime in shortly.

Thanks Janet,

I just patched the obvious split with a piece of vinyl and some 100% silicone. I did read elsewhere that some people have stuffed their ring with pool noodles. Interesting idea, if I could find them for about a buck apiece. I just went to the Intex site and there is no mention of conditioning the vinyl, should I have known about this?? My wife is looking for a warranty, I haven't found one yet.
