Bombard AX3 - what material?

[philip_stevens]

I need to get some (inflatable) flexible paint for my Bombard AX3 Aero - for the inflatable floor, that has become UV damaged and sticky.

What material is the boat made from? All I can find as reference is "1100 Decitex fabric".

What is this? Is it a Hypalon or PVC type fabric? These being the only two types of flexible paint that I can find, and only grey in Hypalon paint.

[/ QUOTE ] 99.9% sure it is PVC. also 99.9% sure Bombards are PVC

With persistence you can find it by Googling but I think that Polymarine have an "ID the material of your inflatable" facility on their website, of if not they do say somewhere. (Topics 6 & 7 on "Advice and technical sheets)

Loads of colours for paint on polymarine site as well

Hypalon does not go sticky AFAIK

Many thanks Vic. Found the site - PVC - and ordering a product from another supply tomorrow.

Not exactly cheap is it???

Anyone know where I can by PVC and adhesive in large quantities as I want to add a second layer to my floor having successfully perforated it by dragging it over a damaged pontoon

All the sites I looked at for the paint only supplied "repair" quantities and adhesive.

I think you would have to go to an inflatable repair company to get a large length of PVC and adhesive for a major repair - and these people charge well!! (at least the one local - no name).
