Can anyone recommend the best adhesive to use to reattach the inflator hose to the bladder?

Can you be more specific, I do not recall having any adhesive associated with my inflator hose.

And everyone says I'M the smart aleck. :D

He means the airway, or more specifically, the elbow to the airway.

The inflator hose is, of course, the hose between the first stage and the power inflator.

Don't I feel stupid. Yes, I meant the elbow coming out of the bladder in which the inflator hose connects to. These are an older style, that are connected to the bladder via some sort of adhesive/heat. I have potentially found a fix, convert them to a threaded neck with gaskets on each side of the bladder. I believe dive rite sells these.

THANK YOU for the advice. I received the parts and converted two older sets of wings I have to the newer style elbow. Works great.
