Repair the inflatable boat yourself with a repair kit
With an inflatable boat, it is inevitable that small holes or cracks appear, which of course have to be repaired with a repair kit. The defective area can be removed quickly in a few simple steps.
What you need:
- Patch kit
- bathtub
- dry cloth
- First of all, of course, you need to locate the hole or tear in your inflatable boat so that you can repair it later with a repair kit. To do this, inflate the inflatable boat and see where the air is escaping. If it is only a tiny hole that you have to find in your inflatable boat, you should then submerge the inflatable boat in a bathtub filled with water.
- If you see bubbles appearing on the surface of the water at one point, you have found the hole or crack in the inflatable boat and can repair it with the appropriate repair kit.
- To do this, first of all dry the area around the hole with a cloth, because the repair kit only lasts on a dry surface.
How to use the inflatable repair kit
- In the following step, grab the metal plate that comes with every repair kit available on the market and roughen the area around the hole a little. This process is used to ensure that the repair kit will hold up really well and permanently later.
- If you have roughened the area of the inflatable, you can now grab the adhesive and put a few drops of it on the edges of the hole.
- Then spread the glue around the hole in your inflatable boat and let it dry for a few minutes.
- In the next step, put the repair kit on the hole and press it down firmly. The pressure causes the repair kit to bond with the rubber of your inflatable boat, so that the hole is completely closed again.
