Reinforcing an Inflatable Toy, a Milka Cow

- In this video I demonstrate my reinforcement of an inflatable Milka cow. It involves making a small slit in the toy; turning the toy inside out through that slit; and then gluing vinyl strips along each seam to span them. The toy can then be turned back right side out and the slit sealed. This leaves the toy with a stock appearance with little evidence of the reinforcement. After reinforcement, the inflatable is significantly sturdier and much less likely to break. If looking to strengthen a toy this is the method I would recommend.
If planning to do something like this yourself, make sure to do so in a well-ventilated room so as not to breath the glue fumes.

While I love to describe the many projects I have done, if they inspire you to do something, you do so at your own risk. The glues and solvents I use can be toxic and vinyl is not breathable and can cause suffocation.
Very awesome and informative video! So many helpful tips on how to do reinforcements! Also totally not jealous of the 3 Aaron dragons in the background!😁
Casually flexing those Aaron's dragons...
Damn I want one so badly
Thank-you. Very good video. Great tips & information.
Yes hammer very important
Yes I love this I need more
Also how do you repair a big seam split
You could repair a seam split the same way I closed the cut in this video.
Heath Dragon thx
which vinyl do you use?
I use clear scrap vinyl from another inflatable.
Would it be practical to do this on a 24” or a 36” beach ball?
I can't see why it wouldn't work.
Hey quick question. This is off topic but when you ordered something off of IW. Before the pandemic. How much was the shipping from DHL without the surcharge
I don't know off the top of my head, but I live in Florida and their shipping has always been expensive.
Heath Dragon I stay in Michigan and the charge is $50 so I’m just asking people that I know do they remember how much was the shipping before this happened out of curiosity
Does the fyaryuu dragons have the softest vinyl?
The FyaRyuu dragons from Inflatable World have very soft vinyl.
@@HeathDragon are there inflatables with even softer vinyl
That is probably as soft as you would want a toy to be. Any softer and it might be very fragile.
@@HeathDragon which inflatable has the highest level of shine on opaque vinyl
my man didnt need to flex with the 3 aarons in the background
What glue do you use, I've been using pattex and it's a contact glue, I find it only works well using vices for pressure. Is it HH-66 which is way more like a solvent? Makes it look so easy Oo
Edit: solvent based glue, yes, thanks
hello Friend , i am from India , i am planning to make a small inflatable bathtube for my nephew , so i got the seaming techinque , but if i want to add the nozzle , though which air enters , i dont know what specifically its called , kindly tell me and also how to attach that nozzle to pump air in leakage-free .
thanks Friend ,great work .
This brings me back to like 2008, I remember seeing something like one of those in a milkshake shop
Ha I actually used a hammer as a weight to hold the glue down because my glue didn’t want to hold down the material so I used the hammer
Wow
Could you tell where i could get some vinyl to reinforce my intex whale?
I usually just use scrap vinyl from another inflatable. Those very cheap inflatable mats are a good source.
@@HeathDragon thanks alot
