Tinker Tramp adhesive for floorboards

[dulcibella]

My elderly Tinker Tramp has developed a leak through a cracked floorboard. I've removed the board and cleaned up the four flaps of fabric that held it in place. Which adhesive should I use to glue the fabric to the marine ply?

May I tell you my Tinker Tramp story?

1984, age 14, me and a chum set off from Cowes during Cowes week in a Tinker Tramp with a 4hp Mariner and spare petrol. We headed north to Calshot, wandered around on the beach looking at the J class Endevour about to be launched, then headed back to Cowes.

Aren't they hypalon? IIRC the Polymarine website tells you how to tell the difference between hypalon and PVC; their lists says Tinkers are hypalon so you want this stuff. Other vendors are available.

Yes, it is hypalon. Thanks for confirming that I was looking at the right kind of glue.
