I re did the sail panels 2 years ago and now they are starting to bubble. I used the recommended adhesive and prepared the metal but it still happened.
Is there any fix without completely redoing the whole thing. Thanks |

Try taking a small needle or pin and penetrate though the vinyl. Then push the air out until its flat again, then take a heat gun, and heat the vinyl around that area and place a flat block of wood against the surface equalizing the pressure around where the bubble was. This should slightly melt the underlying adhesive and make it re-adhere getting rid of the bubble. Hopefully all you have is a very small pin hole in the end. The cause of the bubble is probably solvent pop from the adhesive unless its moisture related then you may have other problems...
