Has any body got any tips for repairing the Aerotec ,what is the floor fabric made out of ,I know to patch is side and out but do I use 2 part hypalon or 2 part
Polyurethane glue.any advice gratefully received

Not such a large hole to be a problem. Have a look at this thread where I both asked for advice and reported back on my success in making home repairs on an Aerotec...

http://www.rib.net/forum/f50/aerotec...ice-68545.html

Proper prep, proper use of the correct PVC 2-part glue, due regard to air temp and moisture levels, keep pressure on the repair overnight and for me I'd not fully inflate a HP floor to pressure for another 2/3 days.

Yep, that's a PITA (little *******) but at least in a 'good' spot and not on a seam or corner etc.

It's PVC.

I would recommend overlapping the patch pretty significantly.
