dinghy glue

[Marceline]

Hi - a couple of handles are starting to come away from our 12' dinghy and wondering are there any good glues you can recommend to re-attach them ?

Also - there are two useful smaller dhingy rings on the port and startboard bow, but we'd like to try and find similar to attach at on the tubes towards the stern - tried looking in Force4 but couldn't seem to find any - are there any places where these can be purchased ?

So it's an inflatable just to clarify things.

If it is an inflatable RIB Store can supply / advise on glue and patches - eg PVC Circular Patch with Towing Eye / D-Ring 120mm x 26mm

D and O rings with gluable patches are sold by many eBay sellers ......

Make sure to follow the instructions on glueing to the letter.

Putting on a coat of glue, letting it dry, putting on another two coats letting them dry before pressing the bits together seems counter-intuitive.
So make a real effort to follow the instructions.

many thanks and will do. Hopefully our glues and things are here for doing this at the weekend.

Thanks ever so much again to you all

And sand the area to glue and then clean it with acetone or whatever is recommended and let the acetone completely dry before starting.

If you do it right, it will last longer than the dinghy itself.
