hypalon or other material

Hi,

i am wanting to put some wear patches on each side of my boat, prob 2 of 1500x500 or even other sizes could suit and i would just change design to suit.
Navy blue would be brilliant or anyother ideas would be good!

Hi Phil ..
I put those patches on my tubes recently.. Used treadmaster ready to go patches.. Only lrob I found was the adhesive on them was crap for the tubes.. So I bought a pot of 2 part PVC adhesive and they're well stuck now!

I'm good thanks, yourself?
I'd use the same material as your tubes, I can give you a hand if you want?

Might be best off trying a forum member like Paul Tilley or Henshaws?

Hypalon ain't cheap ... offhand I think the extra cost for my tube top patches was more than that though some would have been labour to fit during the boat build.

1500 is just wider than roll width

Make them roll width 1450 and you will only need to buy 1m from the roll.

Paul Tilley will probably have the colour you want in stock why not give him a call.
