repairing a cut in an achilles inflatable?

[steve yates]

Whats the best method? it says on the achilles site they use their own material for their dinghies, is that hypalon or something else?

There is a little slit, 0.5 cm long on the underside of the dinghy, where the bowtube meets the floor (uninflated floor); whats the best stuff and procedure to patch it?

Thanks.

When mine needed a repair I bought the necessary stuff from a company near Emsworth called Inflatable Boat Supplies. It did the job well .

Perhaps stating the obvious but it needs to be both very clean and very dry.

According to Polymarine Achilles are Hypalon , but they also describe a couple of tests to determine the material PVC or Hypalon? | Polymarine Paints, Adhesives, Parts & Accessories

Thanks guys, will ring IBS tomorrow to ask, assuming they are open. No real rush for this I guess
