Inflatable Boat Emergency Repair Anonymous 2017-08-01 08:24:43 Post No. 1220117 [Report]

How can I quickly fix an inflatable boat?

In last years beer floating event I learned that duct tape is worthless for repairs. I'd like to have some emergency solution to fix my boat in case of emergency, but the proper repair kits tend to need up to 12 hours to dry.

How can I quickly fix a leaking inflatable to make it to the end of the day?

waterproof duct tape
>not even kidding
got a shitload of those repair kits (with use by date older than God - don't ask) INSTRUCTIONS SAYS:
Leave for 12 hours to dry (you correct enough)
EXCEPT in emergency, fine to use straight away.
Repair kits still probably the best things to use, seeing as how designed for this purpose, and all.

get a big piece of rubber for the patches, a pair of scissors, some 220 grit sandpaper, and some fast-set epoxy (like 3 mins or something).

when you spring a leak, cut a patch out as necessary from the rubber, abrade it, abrade the repair area, slather the epoxy on, and hold the patch in place for 3 mins.

Done.

Congratulations! - you just invented the 'Boat Emergency Repair Kit' - fug do you think is in those? (@ admittedly, approx 20 times their component cost) Probably, the trick would be in obtaining the most waterproof glue/epoxy you can find, IDK if there is any actual justification the marine glue shit be so expensive, other than 'boat'.

remember to add a drop of black paint to the epoxy, helps it cure stronger & shows everyone that you're a pro
