PVC Adhesive ?

[afrayedknot]

Does anyone have good results when repairing a PVC inflatable boat where the tube material has become separated from the hard fiberglass bottom. I have tried PVC adhesive from West Marine but it does not hold.

Contact the people at Inflatable Boat Parts (https://shop.inflatableboatparts.com/).

I've personally found that the products they carry, work and they can help you with suggestions.

Thanks to you both for the advice - have ordered HH-66 adhesive and will give it a try.

I gave up and as a last ditch started using 5200...messy and not too good looking (theft proofing) but has held up where regular cement failed...smear on both surfaces..attach and then tape in place so it won't slide off during cure stage and after it is set I put a bead around the edge of the patch...I get new leaks but never where I have done this
