Some kind of glue

batfalcon · 19 June 2001, 09:33

I am looking for a special kind of glue, as the one they use to build the ribs. You know, the one that glues the hypalon neopren parts together. I was told that the factories use a two componet adhesive and in fact it is impossible for common people like us to have it on board. Do you have anything to suggest?

Rib builders use a glue called Bostik 2402 which comes with an additional hardener. The glue should be available to the public directly from Henshaw Inflatables tel.:0044 (0) 1963 33237.
Also some good chandlers stock it as well.

Having used the Bostick and the Dunlop 2002 version I found the Dunlop one to be better if you have a Dunlop place near then contact them and they will get it for you. I also found that after you let the two surfaces dry you get a better bond if you give then a quick wipe with aceatone. Hope all goes well for you.
