Inflatable Dinghy Repair

[bobupanddown]

I have an oldish inflatable which has more or less perfect tubes but the floor has become badly scratched and holed in several places.(too many for patches to be a practical solution) I've seen lots of articles on how to repair tubes but can't find any info on how to repair/refurbish the floor. Can I buy some sort of liquid plastic or replacement panels?

if its a pvc based dinghy like my zodiac then you can use superglue gel for the tiny holes and scratches. I did mine some 8 years ago and they are all still fine. the only things it wont do are larger holes and splits.

The material for the floor can be bought by the metre from Polymarine and no doubt other sources. Both Hypalon and PVC are available as are the adhesives.

It the case of Hypalon you can soften the old glue with a hot air gun to remove the old floor.
