How To Repair Inflatable Boat DIY with simple tools

[@joehozzy2616]

Awesome job! Thanks for the advice re PVC glue, will save us all a tonne of money. I'm not an expert, but I'd probably also put a patch on the inside for extra strength. You could put baking paper over the top of the inside patch, so it doesn't stick to the inside of the tube on the other side when drying. This is a trick people use when re-gluing valves on kitesurfing kites. The baking paper then of course, lives inside the boat forever which is not an issue.

[@jerrystott7780]

When lining up edges I've had good luck with putting some duct tape inside to hold things together for the glue up. Don't know if it's right for that awkward nose section you did, but it's worked for stuff I've glued when I didn't have extra hands to hold things. Good how to video. Have a great day.

[@t.h.o.r.]

I made them from the same material that the boat is made from

[@tahaselmancakr7546]

Thank you for the great idea. Will it work in joining floor to tube? Floor is harder and tube is softer. Both are PVC.

[@SouthernSierra56]

Duct tape holds the repair together from the other side( it's okay to leave it inside the tube. I'd be putting an inside and outside patch on those areas. Doc (30+ pro years exp) Should use a larger brush with sweeping not dabbing motion. 2-3 coats(thin) of glue.

[@peterc2452]

This is a rebuild not a repair. Great job man.

[@andreweast2121]

When you use 2 part marine glue it says to coat both surfaces and let dry for 20 minutes. Then apply another coat and let dry for five minutes, then apply your patch.. It instantly forms a very strong tacky bond. I tried the pvc pipe glue instead, and I didn't get the sticky bond. It did eventually dry, but after putting on the patch I had to put heavy weights on the patch for 24 hours while it dried. There are so many different kinds of pipe glue, fast set , slow set , medium..wonder which kind works best?

[@t.h.o.r.]

None at all- Ive done canvas a pvc repairs since 1985 and it is the proper glue- its just a much cheaper way of buying it. If your boat is old and sunburned - clean hard with a stainless steel scourer around the repair area and use the PVC primer that they use on pressure pipes - the purple stuff

Hello nice vídeo I have a dinghy west marine that has several holes in the rubber on the sides and other joints which I cannot put a patch or several in all the affected areas...My question is do you think that just applying the pvc glue in all areas do you consider that the small gaps can be covered without pachts? I apreciatte your comments

[@t.h.o.r.]

No- I dont recommend that at all. The areas must be cleaned and patched- the material is so cheap- just offcuts from a truck canvas place

hey buddy, question. I have a mariner 4. I have quite a few holes around the boat. Can’t find pvc patches to use , without getting them shipped but I’m traveling. Do you think I can cut up one of the inflatable seat cushions, since I don’t use them and use those as patches with pvc glue? I’m thinking I could but haven’t seen anyone else do it.. Thanks.

[@t.h.o.r.]

I dont know how thick the cushions are - but if the holes are just punctures not tears it should be fine - so long as the material is the same type- pvc.

[@gregbeniston5176]

Great information. Thanks for sharing this. I have a leak underneath a strip of material (12" x 6") attached to the tube in lower bow area. The strip has the OEM's trademark on it and its peeling back about 1". Not sure if this strip has another purpose or its just decorative, but I think its just a badge. Should I try to re-glue the seam where its just pulling away from the main tube or remove the entire strip with a heat gun to inspect and install a new patch? If I remove the whole strip can I re-use and re-glue in place or use a new patch?

[@t.h.o.r.]

You can reuse the strip but time and acetone cost more than a new patch- I would peal the loose piece back to get dirt and sand out and give it a good clean then re glue if its easy to clean- or make a new patch

[@sewingmachinesindetail]

@@SouthernSierra56 Thanks. I guess it must be a US quart gallon then, and it is about 0.94 liters. For smaller projects with patching, I think it is easier to use the cans with a brush inside. Then you do not need to clean a brush or buy a new for each project, and you always got the right amount of glue at disposal. I have also used a PVC glue, Sabacontact 70T in similar small cans with a brush, but I like the brush in the Plastigum 77 better. You can get one liter of Sabacontact for about 35 Euro, so it is about the same price level here in Europe. Perhaps you can refill the small cans with a brush from a larger can if price is important.

I have a Sea Eagle 470 kayak and one of the seams split so they replaced under warranty, leaving me with the old one. I have recently removed the D Rings (14 of them) by using a hair dryer and pulling them off of i suspect this will also work for you. This weekend i will test gluing one Dring back on before gluing 4 D Rings onto a RED Paddle 11' SUP. I might also try to repair the seam on the kayak, but suspect it will then fail elsewhere on the seam.

[@sewingmachinesindetail]

@@geoffpender1920 Thanks for these answers. I noticed, that more of the handles in video was on their way off the boat. I have worked with inflatable airtracks for gymnastics, and they got similar problems and repair methods. I just made a video regarding a DIY handle. There is a lot of different procedures shown on KZbin regarding patching of PVC inflatables. I have always used pressure to the joint while the glue cures, but very few use this method. With this video from THOR I see that the roller is used in combination with the hot air gun, and I guess that this is a nice tip. But it is likely, that the air should not be too hot. For hot air tarpaulin welding you do use the roller in this way, but then the air temperature is much higher. Hot air welding is not to be recommended for these applications, because the joints will not last. Some of the older airtracks used welding for all the joints, and these joints do leak over time of use. Glued joints will last a very long time.

Hi. I like your video. I am looking to glue d rings to a stand up paddle board. I can find type type N glues that are clear. Are they what you are using. Thanks for you help and interesting ideas www.mitre10.com.au/bostik-plumbers-mate-pvc-pipe-cement-type-p-44117 Sites say type P but info and bottle say type N www.bunnings.com.au/protek-500ml-type-n-clear-pvc-cement-for-non-pressure-pipes_p4750119 You also mentioned a purple primer. Both stores have a red primer but no purple. How do you tell what the correct primer is. Thanks again. Geoff

How long did you let it set for until inflating again? All handles and transom need re attaching on my 6.7 hypalon dinghy.

This glue does not work on Hypalon

PVC glue WILL work on hypalon, but not the other way around. Doc(30+ pro years experience)
