Sorry to hear that.. I would look for a vinyl patch or whatever the material is before resorting to duct tape.

Can't glue it - scr*w it. Can't Duct it - f@ck it, it's broke.....

Duct tape is only going to be a temporary patch. It won't stretch or hold under pressure or in the heat.

Call the manufacturer and see if they sell a repair kit or can lead you towards hte right material to patch it with.

I do rooftop balloon advertising, and repair rips and small punctures in the balloons all the time. Use a vinyl patch kit for a pool (patch from the inside so the air preasure is forcing the patch into the fabric). Overlap the hole by 2 inches all around. DO NOT do this on a cold day as the "glue" needs to cure overnight.

I apply the adheasive to both the patch and the area around the hole and let it dry until tacky before placing the patch.
