The original repair was for a few pinholes that we got when we ran up on some sharp debris close to shore in our highfield hypalon inflatable dinghy. We used the 1-part M.E.K. based repair glue that came with the dinghy to do the repair and I think the biggest things I did wrong were
-Too much pressure in the tube during repair/cure
-too much glue on the repair because I didnt cut down the brush bristles
We brought the dinghy to A Sailor's Place in Stuart and they were kind enough to let me watch, ask questions, and video the repair process. Check them out here bit.ly/ASailorsPlace The repair is still holding strong 2 months later as I publish this video.

The best tutorial on YT. I used this method on a pvc bounce house with a 10" hole. Perfect results ☺️

I do rubber roofing and prep work is everything. The little detail work is what people don’t do. NICE JOB!

Clear, well edited. I am about to patch my boat. Hoping that the humidity does not kill it.

I did the dumb thing of forgetting to sand both the patch and dinghy, I sanded the dinghy and the glue I used stuck like S to a blanket but on the unsanded patch no glue stuck at all and I was able to peel the patch off like it was a bit of wet paper stuck on there. Great video!!

how can i tell if my dinghy is pvc or hypalon? i bought it from a traveler in a marina and never asked

@stephenburnage7687 11 месяцев назад

Hypalon is part fabric, part PVC and the fabric component is pretty obvious when compared to PVC.

If you use masking tape before you glue you won't have to clean any glue off later!!!!

How do I stick a PVC patch onto a hypalon boat?

@bobojesse8540 2 года назад

First apply PVC glue, two coats, on the PVC part and let it fully cure for at least 24hrs. Then very gently sand the PVC glue and treat it as it was a normal hypalon or rubber part. I know the answer is 9 months late... might be useful to somebody else.
