Glue

[EdWingfield]

I've run out of glue in the inflatable dinghy repair kit.

The tube reads Polyurethane M.E.K.

Anyone know if there's a common brand of that type?

Dunno, but you need to know what the material of the dinghy is, hypalon or poly something. Glues are different.

Polymarine (WWW.Polymarine.co.uk) do adhesives for Hypalon and PVC. Many chandlers stock the Polymarine products or you can buy direct.

It is essential that you use the correct adhesive so you need to know if your dinghy is PVC or Hypalon. There is a test described on the Polymarine website and also a list of dinghies made in the two materials (In "Advice and Technical sheets")

From what you have said I'd guess it's PVC.
