Glueing PVC to Hypalon

[marbra]

Can someone tell me the correct way and type of glue to use in glueing a PVC patch ( name of boat is on the patch, not being used as a repair) to a Hypalon Tube.

Thanks,
Mark

You must use pvc adhesive on the patch, 2 coats, and you must let it cure, not just dry but cure. This adhesive will form a barrier which prevents the plasticisers in the pvc migrating to the hypalon adhesive and turning it into a sticky substance.

Use normal hypalon technique for gluing.

Bostik 2402 is the adhesive that is normally used for Hypalon, and I think it's Bostik 3206 for PVC (but check!).

Hope this helps!

John is exactly right, I have just had to re-glue a whole rubbing strake off a Scorpion 6.5 RIB using that process........oh joy!!
