Waterproof glue / adhesive for fixing inflatables

[barryd]

Years ago in France when my cheap blow up dinghy sprung a leak I bought some clear waterproof adhesive from a chandlery and it was absolutely fantastic. Got a leak, just dab some of this stuff on, leave it overnight and it was cured for good. I can't remember what it was called now. We carry various inflatables and of course they often get punctures. Can anyone recommend such a product? I tried a couple of alternatives over the years from the UK but they were crap. Cant remember what they were either.

If you are using a patch, then 'Stormsure'.

I remember reading somewhere that clear Gorilla tape was up to the job Barry.

...might have been this one Barry;

Expensive but 3 metres gives a hell of a lot of patches.

Thanks but I don't want patches. The stuff I had was literally just a liquid. It was amazing. I was hoping someone might have found something similar in the UK.

I do remember reading of a 2 part adhesive for RIBs Barry when I had my Sevylor but I can't find it for the life of me now.

If that helps?

Just Google colle reparation bateau pneumatique
With a UK IP address, you'll get a fair number of UK hits, followed by some French ones - perhaps you'll recognise what you had!

i have a feeling that this stuff https://floormart.co.uk/cold-weld-f...=991d84ef858312d065fc4f6a3a4947e5&fo_s=gplauk is what i used to repair stuff when laying vinyl flooring . if so , its briliant

I'm very disappointed. Having read the title of this thread, I had expected to be entertained by comments from the usual suspects about "exotic" inflatables. Perhaps they're all at church

One of our Welsh members did PM me to ask if I knew how to repair one of these to be fair. I couldn't understand why he didn't just ask the group.

I think he just wants to put a patch on his "girlfriend".

They also asked me if I knew where to get hold of a stringless tennis racket.

I’ve used Gear Aid “Seam Grip +WP” from GO Outdoors with success repairing small holes without patches. McNetts make something similar.
