Marking the Tubes of a RIB

[Scubafill]

I need to add the boat name and the dive club website to the tubes of a 6.8 m RIB.

Any ideas taking into account the amount of flexing in the tubes, inflation and deflation due to tempreture, weather, water spray and divers clambering back into the boat after a dive.

Don't do it, If you muck up on the slip way or anywhere else, every one know's who's been a plo***r.


If you must why not on the Transom?

Hi Scubafill!

I put the name etc on my inflatables with a permanent marker felt tip and a set of plastic stencils - both available very cheaply. Fantastic, and impossible to remove completely however hard you scrub it. I do a 'touch-up every year or so just to correct the slight fading, as we spend momst of our time in hot places.

Different colours are available so you should be able to find one that suits.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Local RIB manufacturer here has sign write cut a stencil negative, which is placed on tube, and then applies a PVC paint before removing stencil - looks like it's part of the tube.

I have an almost full tin of white "liquid letters" which is the stuff Polymarine sell for hypalon. If you're interested, you can have it for the cost of postage and a beer or buy direct at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://aflcharters.co.uk>Dream Dancer
