Bloomin patches

Got several really horrid patches on the front section of my searider, most of them are peeling away at the edges, can I replace them with much smaller matching colour ones, as it really lets the rest of the boat down - any suggestions how i could go about smartening this section up would be great guys - thanks

patches

Try speaking to one of the re-tube firms, you can track them down on RIB net if you do a search. I used Olmec you could try Henshaws or Paul Tilley. Good luck.

He has just re-glued a seam on my tubes. He will come to you and is a lot nearer to you than Somerset or Devon.
