The products at Our Dollar Tree are Shrinking in Content , Even the 5 Dollar can of Huffing Tulio has become a Third of the way full , They are Selling Hand Rags to the glue heads for 2 and even 3 Dollars for a small rag of Toluene these day's , I remember when gasoline, acrylic paints, varnishes, lacquers, paint thinners, adhesives, glues, rubber cement, airplane glue, and shoe polish; and carburetor cleaner starter and fluid , White out were all much Lower , I feel bad for the local glue heads :( QC

Always store all paints and canned adhesives upside down if not being used for a long time. The material will self seal in any microscopic leaks in the lid creating a air tight seal. Be aware of any initial leaks that may come out of the lid. I've kept paints good over 10 years doing this. PS lose the music!

Stan's Tubless Tire Sealant works great. Its sold at most bicycle shops. Its a liquid latex. You just pour it in each chamber. Fill it up with air. rotate the boat every 10 min for an hour then let sit for 24 hours. Done. Seals all those small leaks you can't find and the ones you can find. And it's cheaper than buying the same product at westmarine

Lord have mercy. That’s a lot of materials needed. And unfortunately I don’t have the space for a workshop like that here in Japan where real estate is limited.

THIS ALL SOUNDS LIKE BRAIN SURGERY TO ME, I JUST WANTED TO PATCH MY INFLATABLE BOAT NOW IM FEELING CONFUSED.

Maybe turn the music down or talk in a deeper voice. I really struggled to hear what you said with that music playing so loudly in the back.

why we need more than 1 layer for the glue ( vinyl cement for inflatable boat

Actually did a good job I don't say that a lot

The fabric and the transom board appear to be separating because it doesn't take long before there is about 3" of water in the boat. The "following video's" did not show up. What are the names of the video's so that I can do a search for them (links don't seem to show up in posts for some reason). Thanks a lot!

I have a mid 80's(?) orange Zodiak that leaks around the transom. Someone tried to repair it by applying silicone. I don't even know what the material is (this is all new to me). Can you offer any help?

Thank you so much for your videos. They are waymore coherent and easy to follow than others that I have seen come out of Miami.

Great Job NRS! Thanks.

Great video and also a VERY helpful company. Thanks!

Thanks you for the comment/question. It appears that Zodiac may have used a few different fabrics over the years, so you'd have to get a hold of the manufacturer if you wanted to know the exact type of material your boat is made of. That said, we suggest using Stabond Adhesive for any air holding patches on Zodiacs. Stabond works on many different fabric types, and for this reason we list it as the preferred adhesive for Zodiac boats.

GREAT,INFORMATIVE VIDEO,MATE. ....PLUS,i DIDN'T MIND THE MUSIC AT ALL!!

Great info now I need to figure out the materials my boat is made with

If it's the interface between the transom and the boat fabric i.e. the fabric and the transom board are separating from each other, then we would suggest using G-flex epoxy. G-flex works for a myriad of fabric and materials, so it should work great with whatever your transom is made of. Stabond could work as well but you'll probably get a better bond with G-flex. The following videos on our website/KZread page can help with the repair process:

Nice video! thks for sharing!

Thank you. This was a big help. I have a 20-plus-year-old 13-foot Avon motor boat where the rubrail is coming loose in a few places. The glue I had bought and was supposedly suited for Hypalon required mixing. It didn't do as well. It may have already been past its shelf life when I bought it, and although I had prepped it. I will use your recommendation for Hypalon.

Ok I`ll keep that in mind .
