Might the IBS rib spares catalogue be of any help?

Thanks Jimmy, useful catalogue, they don't mention duratex, but I will do some more research, maybe its called something else as well.
cheers

There is a product called Aquaseal, that appears may do the job, any one used it?

Thought that was for roofs & gutters?

I've used aquasure for years on wet and dry suits, works very well but soon goes off when opened. Best way to store it is in the freezer.

But to answer your original question not sure that I'd use it to repair a RIB puncture. Why not speak to the boat manufacturer?

Hi Roy

Duratex is a PVC based fabric so a two part pvc glue repair kit will give you what you need have a look here:
