Inflatable Overhaul.

[DKnight]

Some time ago in PBO (I believe) there was an articule from a reader about "doing up" an inflatable, I also think this included painting the tubes!
Anyone able to point me in the direction of this articule (month/year) or any information as to restoring an aged inflatable?

Thanks!

I think it was in MBM, about 9 months to a year ago.

500ml of cleaning agent - 6.50
500ml Hypalon paint (many colours) - 15.00
500ml PVC paint (few colours) - 22.00

Various replacement handles, cleats, rings are all available too.

Might be worth asking this sort of question on www.rib.net as there are plenty of people there with experience of painting tubes (and some who will probably suggest a bizzare mix of solvents that may clean the tubes up so you don't need to paint them!).
