WE MESSED UP. Learning the RIGHT Way to Repair a Hypalon Dinghy from Professionals.

We turn to the professionals to stop the small leak in our dinghy and learn some good tips to repairing a hypalon dinghy. Thanks so much A Sailor's Place bit.ly/ASailorsPlace I think the biggest mistake we made was not cutting down the brush bristles so when I applied the glue it was a little thick and globby. I also may not have ground down the material good enough. I hope this helps you learn a bit about repairing a Hypalon dinghy like the professionals.
All video was taken pre stolen dinghy engine so still keep your eyes peeled👀

That was definitely a needed video. A lot of us RIB owners are going to watch this several times to DIY patch.

[@scottpetrone6284]

Bill and Sierra, excellent content as always. I enjoy these videos immensely because you learn things you didn't know before.

[@steware]

Can’t wait for my bag, super excited here! 🥰

[@JohnFeeken]

Thanks guys, this was just the confidence boost I needed before tackling mine!

[@cunamara01]

Exactly what I needed, I also patched my hypalon with similar tiny holes and it's still leaking. Now I know how to do it right, thank you.

[@fxpthl]

Still bummed about someone stealing your outboard! Damn thief's!!!! Great demonstration on the "how-to's" for patching a rubber dinghy. That guy was nice to take his time to explain the do's and don'ts. Congrats on selling most of your old sail stuff! Loving your site and all of your adventure's. Love Jetty too!

[@chrismccartney8668]

Excellent How To Video I have done a couple repairs over years but was very thorough.... cutting bristles seems a great idea..

[@mfhairstream6812]

just ordered last blue/green duffle bag. looking forward to using it

[@mattf49006]

Love your repair and how to episodes ..huge nod to ASailorsPlace for the help and allowing you to video it for us..

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

I use a small roller that I got at Home Depot. It was just a couple of bucks. You can also find them at Hobby Lobby and Michael’s. Great video. 👍👍

[@kristaps2010]
