Probably NOT. I would imagine that the plastic/rubber is either a poly-vinyl or poly-ester based plastic/rubber material. Any type of device that you'd be floating along with, should not be tested with your life. Replace it. Few plastics can be mended, particularly when inflated under pressure. Go buy a new non-inflated kayak!

Almost certainly, if not with a spare part from the kayak manufacturer or dealer, then with the aid of modern adhesives or plastic welding techniques a similar valve could be grafted in. If all else fails a suitable schrader type could be fitted.

In the days when car and truck inner tubes were popular a range of schrader valves was available moulded into a large circular patch intended to be either vulcanised into position or cold welded.

Just got a Skedaddle 2 XC Inflatable Kayak and having trouble trying to inflate it at home to see how it works before going out on the water. Don't know which tip to use on the foot pump or where to use it...

Use the threaded tip for the two main chambers, but be sure to turn the inside part of these valves clockwise to put them in the inflate position -- just press your finger on the valve and turn (the instructions aren't very clear on this). To deflate, push the valves in and turn counterclockwise.

For the orange twist valves use the tip that fits over them -- there is only one that fits snugly over them. Don't forget to open the valves (turn counterclockwise) before inflating and then close them (clockwise) before removing the tip. Just turn then cc to deflate when you're ready to put the kayak away.

I was able to inflate the Skedaddle 2 in less than 7 minutes on my second try, and I wasn't rushing at all. It's really pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Our Intex air bed has a leak, we think the leak is in the valve. over night the bed deflates, ugh.

Guerilla repair it by replacing the valve by cutting out the valve add a new valve with extra rubber and, rubber cement.

Small leak somewhere- help- after kayaking yesterday, the kayak was somewhat deflated. can't find hole.

If it is a inflatable I would suggest mixing soap and water in a sprayer and inflate it back to normal then spray the whole kayak down and look for bubble, then youll find your leak.
