Honwave leaking

Hello all,

I was cleaning the Honwave yesterday and noticed small bubbles forming, hopefully I attached a picture showing where it is.

I’m new to all this so can someone advise how I can fix it?

Many thanks.

What part of the Honwave is it... somewhere along the floor edge I assume?? If you leave it a good while what loses air... floor section or tube?

Hopefully I’ve uploaded the pictures now.
It’s the floor next to the Transom, small bubbles coming from underneath what looks like a part which cover the joins.

Regards,

Looks pretty minor, I'd get it all clean and dry and lift up the offending tiny edge and get a blob of Stormseal in there. You could use a heat gun, solvent and lift more and do a two part glue job but overkill I think.

It does depend on how it was constructed somewhat. If the floor is fully constructed to hold pressure as a stand-alone item and then glued into the SIB... with that seam tape in your images intended to be constructional not to hold pressure then the actual leak in the floor could be a fair distance from its exit point.

However only one way to find out really and that's by Max's method or by applying a patch to overlap the area.

Many thanks to you both, I’ll give stormseal a go and see how I get on.

Cheers.
