Testing toons ? I put plugs in the top holes on the toon and plan on putting a little compressed air into them to test if the have any leaks.

How much pressure should be used?
24" by 28ft long

also when I tap on them it sounds very hollow and almost "thin" or weak? can toons over time become brittle and thin?
Thanks in advance

2 to 4 psi is the max and thats how they should sound.

yea, watch the pressure if the sun is hot. Not sure where you live but say your put in 5 psi and the sun is strong, the pressure may rise to bad levels. If so, cool it with a water hose or vent it.

I used to check underground storage tanks before install. 4 psi is plenty. doesn't sound like much, but even slightly higher psi would be a big problem if they rupture.
