The rub rail on my trusted Avon dinghy is becoming unattached in some places. Does anybody know what to do about this? Can it be reglued? What kind of glue and what procedure?
Advice will be appreciated.

Bostik 2402 was the two part glue for repairing a hypalon dinghies but I dont know if the same is still available.

However contact Polymarine, they do their own adhesives for both hypalon, as in Avon, and PVC as in most other makes. Google will find the website but i think its polymarine.co.uk.

A decent chandlery will stock a suitable adhesive, either Polymarine's or The Bostik one

If necessary you can unstick old joints using a hot air gun and reglue them.

Actually its polymarine.com then look under "adhesives and solvents" Don't forget its the one for hypalon you need
