An irreplaceable part of the equipment of any fisherman or hunter. But in life there are various situations and breakdowns of a swimming device are no exception. This raises the question of how to glue and what kind of glue is best for gluing a PVC boat; this is especially important in camping conditions. Although polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a material that does not require special care, elastic and at the same time resilient, it requires a special kind of adhesive composition.
Requirements for PVC glue
The quality of repair of punctures or cuts must meet the highest requirements. Otherwise, you risk getting into an extremely dangerous situation on the water while operating the boat. Such a risk is often associated with a person’s life, because due to incorrectly selected glue, when repairing damage, the patch may come off and the boat will suddenly and quickly begin to deflate or take on water. In this regard, the adhesive composition must meet the following requirements:
Types of glue
To repair punctures or cuts in PVC boats, you should purchase special PVC glue. They are divided into two main types:
- One-component. The leader, according to reviews from consumers and specialist service providers, is polychloroprene glue. It is specially manufactured for the repair of products made of polyvinyl chloride, rubberized fabric and various materials, wetsuits. This composition has high elasticity, resilience, strength, can withstand temperature changes, and the adhesive seam is highly durable. As a substitute for this composition, you can use special polyurethane boat glue. It has almost the same characteristics and properties, moreover, it is transparent and does not turn yellow.
- Two-component. Among the compositions of this variety, Bostik Vinycol 1520 glue showed high performance. It is made on the basis of polyurethane, which contains wax and an organic solvent. Bostick Vinicol has high adhesive properties: strength, flexibility, and is not susceptible to temperature.
Adhesives that are similar in composition to Moment glue are not recommended for use when repairing PVC boats. They do not have sufficient tightness, operational durability, reliability and strength. In a situation where you have to repeatedly repair the same place, dried “Moment” type glue will be extremely difficult to remove. In some cases, it will be necessary to apply another glue over the old one, and the quality of such repairs is very low.
Attention! Many owners of inflatable boats choose Uranus glue. Its main disadvantage is that if the repair site is exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures of some other origin, it tends to soften and the patch may come off.
Glue characteristics
To repair boats made of polyvinyl chloride, you need to use an adhesive composition that is intended for PVC products. In addition, it must have the following characteristics:
- Moisture resistant. Since the product is used in water or repairs can be carried out in high humidity, the adhesive must withstand the influence of water on it.
- Elasticity. When inflating the pontoons of a boat, the material experiences high surface tension. Therefore, the adhesive composition must have high elasticity to avoid destruction of the seam.
- Heat resistance. During operation, the boat may be exposed to heat from the sun or other source; therefore, the glue should not soften under the influence of high temperatures.
- Strength. Must have high tensile strength.
- Durability. The adhesive joint should not lose its strength characteristics after a long period of use.
- Drying time. The short hardening time is an advantage of the adhesive composition. This feature is especially important when repairing in field conditions.
When gluing a patch on a rubber boat, choose special adhesive compositions that are designed for products made of polyvinyl chloride. But when working with such substances, it is necessary to remember that they are flammable and emit substances harmful to human health. In this regard, all work must be performed in a well-ventilated area or outdoors.

If you are a fisherman, then you simply must have a rubber boat, because fishing from a boat has its advantages compared to shore fishing. Modern rubber boats are lightweight and easy to transport, there is no excessive noise during fishing that scares away fish, and they are quite easy to operate compared to boats made of metal and wood - actually a relic of the past. Of course, everything has its weaknesses and a rubber boat will be no exception. Its main disadvantage is that it is made of rubber and tends to get damaged. Careless handling of oars, pricking with any cutting objects, all this causes a violation of the integrity of the rubber coating. Moreover, these damages can be completely different - from a tiny hole to a large hole as a result of a cut, which arise for a variety of reasons. That is, sooner or later all this can happen to your boat and you need to know how to properly seal it, so this will be briefly described here.
How to properly seal a rubber boat? The first step is to find any existing holes in the boat. After all, even if you don’t notice a very small hole, over time it will increase in size and lead to the boat breaking, so you need to be careful. Actually detecting holes in a boat is quite simple. You need to pump it up and lower it into the water. If there are holes in the boat, then streams of air will come out of them, they need to be marked - for example, insert a match into the hole. There is no point in marking the cuts more, they are already clearly visible. Once holes are found, repairs can begin.
Cutting patches. It is very important to make them from the material of your boat, this will guarantee quality. Although if you still have the instructions for the boat, it may indicate what material to use to repair the boat. The shape of the patches should be rectangular and the edges should be rounded. It is clear that they must be large enough to completely close the hole.
The next step after cutting is to treat the surfaces. The rubber near the holes should be rubbed well with medium or coarse sandpaper. This is necessary in order to create roughness, because rough surfaces are very reliably and firmly connected to each other. The same thing needs to be done with cut patches.
At this stage we sew up the incisions. The roughness near the damage has been done, now you need to sew up medium and large cuts with nylon threads. The seams should be tight to minimize the likelihood of re-injury.
Before you begin gluing the boat, all subsequently bonded surfaces must be degreased. Here you can use your choice - gasoline, acetone or something like that. As a result, the rubber is degreased and characteristically swells, the grip will be better.
Apply glue to the surfaces to be glued. The glue should not be PVA, superglue or something like that, but special for rubber boats, it can be recommended by the manufacturer of your boat, very often it comes with the kit, as well as rubber for gluing damaged surfaces.
An important point is that glue should only be applied to the roughness on the boat itself, not to the patch. It is usually applied in two layers. Using a brush, apply the first layer and wait until it dries. When it's dry, apply a second coat.
Without allowing the second layer to dry, apply the patch. It must be taken carefully, without wrinkling, and applied to the glue. Try to do this the first time, because then it will be difficult to change its position. When you have finally applied it, level it evenly over the entire surface, smooth out any irregularities if they have formed, that is, you need to completely remove the air from under it. That's all, you sealed the boat with your own hands. You will be able to use your repaired boat in about three days.
Rubber is suitable in many ways for the manufacture of fishing boats. It is elastic and waterproof. But there are also negative qualities. These include a tendency to scratches, tears and cuts. Whether you are an experienced rubber boat user or a novice, rubber adhesive should definitely appear on your tool shelf from the moment you purchase it.
What glue to use to seal a rubber boat
Due to the variety of brands of adhesives on the market, it is difficult to give a definite answer to this question. Let's start by giving some tips on choosing a brand.
Firstly, when buying, you can’t chase cheapness. Otherwise, it is quite possible to end up with an incomprehensible substance that will not only not cope with the work task, but will also cause harm to the material.
Secondly, it is unacceptable to purchase cyanoacrylate glue, also called superglue. The durability of its action cannot be considered satisfactory.
Thirdly, the substance must be heat-resistant.
Fourthly, you need to give preference to a non-sticky substance, and not a universal one, but a special one.
And, of course, all boat repair work must be carried out in as dry conditions as possible.
As a classic example, you can take glue 4508 (rubber). As a substance for repairing boats, it has proven itself to be excellent. Characterized by excellent strength. Together with it, in order to increase wear resistance, it is recommended to use hardeners such as Leuconate.
Also suitable are polyurethane glue, radical, gum, NK glue, 88 SA, 88-NP, 88-N.
DIY rubber boat repair
In order to thoroughly approach the repair process, you should prepare a donor material (buy materials specially designed for this in a store or look for suitable pieces of rubber in a home workshop). Then, following the recommendations given above, we select glue.
When cutting pieces from the donor material, it is better to round the edges.
The most common problems
The list of the most common defects that watercraft may be susceptible to includes the following:
- - holes may appear at certain points on the surface;
- - seams are mainly prone to ruptures, but they can also occur on other areas of the surface;
- - oarlocks are very prone to damage;
- - bottom defects are a very serious problem;
- - tapes are prone to deformation and tearing;
Necessary tools and tools
We are thoroughly preparing for the repair process. First, we collect all the necessary tools. These include:
- - donor material - if it is not specifically sold in the store, then we look for pieces of rubber suitable in size and properties in the household;
- - special glue with instructions attached to it (from the instructions you can glean a lot of information valuable for work)
- - working scissors;
- - acetone or degreaser (no gasoline!)
- - brush;
- - marker;
- - sandpaper (fine-grained);
- - self-adhesive waterproofing tape;
Basic repair steps
- - relieve pressure;
- - mechanically clean the surface to be treated;
- - chemically clean the surface (acetone or degreaser);
- - apply glue to the surface;
- - fix the elements;
- - ensure thermal conditions - usually the temperature should not be lower than +20 C.
- - leave the product for a certain time. This time depends on the brand of glue.
Determining the location of the rupture
When the first signs of a surface defect appear, you need to determine its exact location and localize it. If it seems difficult to do this visually, you need to use a soap solution - treat the surface with it and inflate the watercraft. It is better to inflate the boat in stages, in sectors. Bubbles should appear at the cracks. They will help localize defects.
Treating the edges of the damaged area
This stage of the technological process is necessary and has already been touched upon above, in the paragraph “main repair steps.” First, you need to carry out mechanical and then chemical cleaning of the surfaces being treated. The first process is carried out by treating with fine-grained sandpaper, the second - using acetone or another degreasing agent.
Bonding
Before starting any repair work, you must carefully read the instructions included with the selected brand of glue. There will be information about which surfaces the glue should be applied to, how long to wait before pressing, and the like.
If it was planned to use hardeners or other special substances, then they are mixed with the main composition of the adhesive mass in advance.
So, you have prepared the substance and read the instructions, carried out mechanical and chemical cleaning of the surfaces. Now you should act in accordance with the instructions.
It indicates whether to apply a thin layer of glue to both or one surface, whether to wait a while before pressing, what tools are best to use for compression (for example, a clamp). When applying a layer of glue, use a brush.
Repair instructions for individual elements of a rubber boat
How to glue the bottom
The bottom of a boat is one of the painful places that often suffers from defects. Here are step-by-step instructions for repairing the bottom.
- - completely tear off the bottom
- - completely warm up the bottom area with a hairdryer
- - clean the area with sandpaper
- - then pump up the boat as much as possible
- - glue the sealing tape
- - glue the bottom
- - iron with a 10 x 10 cm plate from the center to the edges
- - push the tape through the bottom
- - push through the junction of the tape and the bottom
- - deflate
- - roll all gluing areas firmly with a roller
- - pump again and leave for two days
Gluing a rubber boat along the seam
Another weak point of the boat is the seams. The seams are protected with special tape. So it can begin to peel off, let water through, which can trigger the beginning of rotting of the suture material.
If such symptoms appear, repairs must begin immediately. First of all, you need to completely dry the watercraft and carefully make sure that there is no moisture anywhere else. Place the watercraft in a dry, warm and ventilated area. Inflate, but not to the limit. Locate the location of the defect. Next, standard sanding and degreasing operations are carried out. Then a thin layer of glue is applied in accordance with the instructions included with it. It should be distributed evenly. Then press and fix the elements using a press for several minutes. Then the object in a state of incomplete inflation should be left for the period of time specified in the instructions.
Gluing the transom
The word transom comes from the English transon. This is a flat section of the stern on which the motor is mounted. This is also one of the most vulnerable places because it is subject to increased stress. It is also possible that the motor foot hits rocks, the bottom, submerged trees, and the like. The age of the boat is also a significant factor. All this can lead to transom defects.
The stationary transom in question is usually made of bakelite plywood, which is not exposed to water. The transom angle should be 4-6 degrees.
Let us first give instructions that imply the use of vulcanization, not glue.
- - clean the damaged area with fine-grained sandpaper
- - degrease with acetone
- - place the object on a flat surface
- - apply damp rubber to the damaged area
- - cover with whatman paper
- - attach the vulcanizer heater
- - secure with a clamp
- - heat for some time at the rate of 5 minutes per 1 mm of rubber thickness
- - when the paper turns yellow, heating stops
Now let's talk about the requirements for transom glue, as well as specific brands.
Transom glue should be:
- - resistant to corrosion
- - vibration resistant
- - resistant to mechanical damage
- - resistant to abrasive materials
- - resistant to deformation
This set of requirements is fully satisfied by rubber adhesive produced on the basis of natural rubber, urethane, and additives.
Polyurethane glue is also suitable. It copes well with the task of gluing dissimilar materials - rubber and plywood.
As mentioned above, mechanical cleaning and degreasing are mandatory stages of the technological process. Next, you need to decide whether hardeners will be used, and strictly adhere to the dosage when mixing the hardener with glue. Next, the substance is applied in a thin and uniform layer to the surface of the patch and repair area. Let sit for 30 minutes or so (see instructions for exact time). Then apply another layer on top of the previous one. Leave for 10 minutes and press the patch to the repair site and secure. Important! When applying, do not allow it to go beyond the boundaries of the patch and repair area and stain the boat. Another tip: how to determine whether the glue is ready for pressing: it’s easy to touch with your finger, and if it doesn’t stick, then everything goes as it should. And if you then touch it hard and it sticks, then the process will be effective. After applying the patch, you need to use a round object, for example a roller, to iron the area of the patch, especially along the edges. Then leave for about 1 hour. But it will not be possible to pump it up to working condition for about another day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to use Moment glue in the repair of rubber boats?
The answer to this question depends on the specific type of Moment. If the instructions for it say that it is suitable for rubber surfaces, then the answer is yes. The main thing is that after drying, an elastic adhesive seam is formed.
How to remove old glue from a rubber boat
This is an unpleasant question; try to wipe off fresh stains with acetone or acetate, but removing old stains mechanically or using solvents will damage the upper layers of the fabric. This is explained by the fact that the chemical interaction between glue and rubber occurs according to the principle of vulcanization, during which it penetrates into the material.
Every angler who wants to have a good catch has a rubber boat because it is necessary. Fishing from the shore is not available everywhere, but if you have a boat, it significantly increases the space for fishing.
Allows you to transport it in the trunk of a car. There is no noise that scares away fish and it is much easier to operate than boats made of wood and metal.
Disadvantage of an inflatable boat
Perhaps the only drawback of such a boat is its great tendency to damage. Careless movement of the oar, getting caught on an underwater snag, or simply pumping air can damage the rubber coating.
The nature of the damage can be different, ranging from a small hole after being pricked by a piercing object, a small cut, crack or peeling, which appears as a result of improper storage or pumping of the watercraft, or careless handling. Such damage is not uncommon, so we will further tell you how to seal a boat at home.
How to properly seal a boat
How to seal a boat? First you need to detect any existing damage. Each missed hole under air pressure turns into an even larger gap, leaving tiny damage to the material will still crack over time. Finding holes in a boat is not difficult. When the inflated boat is lowered into the water, air bubbles will come out of each damage. To mark them, we insert matches into them, but large cracks and cuts are already visible. It is also advisable to inspect all abrasions and possible peeling. After inspection and determination of the extent of damage, repairs can begin.
Cutting the patches
To repair boat patches, it is advisable to cut similar material. Some manufacturers supply their materials for these purposes; it is better to use them. It is advisable to cut the patches in the shape of a rectangle, but round the corners. The size of the patches must correspond to the parameters of the damage and completely cover it.
Surface treatment
First, you need to sand the areas around the damage with coarse sandpaper. Thus, talc residues are removed from the surface, and roughness is formed. The rough surface is quickly set by glue and becomes stronger. We process patches in the same way.
Sew up the incisions
When the roughness is ensured, we sew up all large damages with nylon threads. It is advisable to apply the sutures very tightly to reduce the risk of new damage. Then, once all the large cuts are stitched, you can begin degreasing.
Degreasing
Before sealing the boat, you need to degrease all damaged areas. This is done using acetone, gasoline or ethyl acetate. Any of these substances are carefully applied to the rough surface around the hole, and to any cut patch. This is how we degreased the material, the surface seemed to swell after treatment, and the remaining dust remaining after treatment with sandpaper was removed. In addition, the materials contribute to better adhesion of the parts by glue.
Glue
It is advisable to use a special glue for rubber boats, as provided by the manufacturers. “Super Glue”, and especially “Moment”, and other quick-setting adhesives are not suitable for us. The adhesives used for rubber boats do not set quickly, although in the end we will get a high-quality, reliable fastening that is not susceptible to the influence of air. If a repair kit for rubber boats is not provided with the rubber boat, I advise you to use rubber adhesives.
Applying glue
Glue is applied only to the rough surface of the inflatable boat; glue is not applied to the patch. The glue is applied in 2 layers. Initially, carefully, using a well-known glue brush, apply the first thin layer of glue and wait until it dries. Depending on the situation, rubber glue can dry from 17 to 95 minutes. Using a knife or pen, check whether the glue has dried or not. When the glue has already dried, another layer of glue is applied in the same way.
Attaching patches
Without allowing the other layer of glue to dry, the patch is applied. We hold the patch with both hands and carefully, evenly, without allowing it to wrinkle, place it on the glue. All this must be done carefully, since after applying the patch to the surface covered with glue, it will be impossible to change its position. When the patch is applied, use your thumbs to even it out in area, smooth out any unevenness, removing air from under the patch. The work is finished.
As Sergey Astafiev writes, there are several simple rules for operating a boat:
- When purchasing an inflatable boat in a store, also buy patches for this boat. If the store doesn't have the patches, order them.
- For patches, use only rubber cement.
- Do not try to get rid of greasy stains with gasoline.
- Do not overinflate the rubber boat.

Conclusion!
Remember, rather than gluing a boat and “losing” precious minutes of rest on eliminating defects, it is better to use the product normally. The boat will still have to be glued, nothing lasts forever, although in this episode it’s better late.
Increasingly conquering the modern market, rubber boats are also in demand among fishermen.
Many models of rubber boats were invented back in the days of the Soviet Union; Soviet-era boats are more than reliable and of high quality.
They have been used for decades and there is no chance to doubt their reliability.
Repair of rubber boat "Ufimka"
When it comes to repairs, the question arises: is it possible to bring the boat back to life? And if possible, which method is better to choose?
For example, we can consider repairs. It has a recognizable design, and in the past it received the nickname “Soviet pie”.
The identical stern and bow will not allow installation, but this boat is capable of delivering excellent performance while rowing. “Ufimka” is made not from plastic or rubber, but from a three-layer material, the inner layer is cord fabric, and the outer layers are modified rubber.
Since we are considering the repair of the Ufimka boat, no questions will arise here, since you can still find classic repair kits, which include:
- Fabric for patches.
- Material for gluing seams.
- And other elements that will be needed in the process of repairing this boat.
When the issue of finding materials has been resolved, you can begin the preparatory stage.
Here's what you need to do to prepare your boat for repair:
- Clean the entire boat of visible dirt and dust.
- Find a hole or hole (it’s good that it’s small).
- Prepare your work space.
- Choose a room for repairs, since you need protection from the wind, and the temperature should be about 20 degrees.
In order not to interrupt the process, it is better to prepare in advance. Here's what equipment you'll definitely need during repairs:
- Fabric for patching.
- Scissors.
- Petrol. In no case is it made by machine - various oils have been added to it!
- Sandpaper.
- Rags.
- Roller or cylinder for rolling.
- Press.
In our case, repair means sealing a hole or hole or any other hole. I would like to present the whole process step by step:
- First, you should sand the area around the hole with sandpaper, preferably sandpaper.
- You will need gasoline and a cloth. Spray the surface with gasoline using a rag.
- It is also recommended to wipe your hands so as not to worry about the result.
- Wait until the treated area dries, you can cut out the patch at this time. Its size should be generous for better fastening with the main material of the boat. The larger the hole, the more tissue reserve should be left.
- Carry out the same manipulations with the patch as with the hole on the boat, let it dry.
- When everything is dry, coat the boat and the patch with the prepared glue in a thin layer. If you couldn’t find a repair kit for Ufimka, buy Tip-Top glue, it glues any rubber tightly. You need to wait 10-15 minutes after applying the glue, only after it dries, continue working.
- Apply a second layer of glue to the surface. Now you should let it dry for 5-7 minutes.
- Connect the elements - the patch and the damaged surface of the boat, iron it with your hands and roll it with a roller, roller, or something cylindrical and hard that you could find. The presence of folds and, especially, wrinkles on the bonded surface is unacceptable.
- Put the boat under the press for a day, this will ensure a more reliable setting.
- Pump up the boat. but not completely, let it be slightly lowered and leave it to dry in this form for 72 hours.
You may not succeed if you glue with greasy hands.
If you are repairing a large hole, therefore using a large patch, check it for stretching, then place the place where it does not stretch along the side, there is also no stretch there, otherwise it will come off.
Look at the video on how to glue a new valve on a rubber boat:
How to seal a rubber boat if it is leaking along the seam
Here, the Ufimka boat’s feature is not its best feature - if it starts leaking along the seam, you will have to disassemble the entire seam of the cylinder, where the air is poisoned, and re-glue it.
It's good that this boat has such a convenient design where the two cylinders do not have common seams.
The process of preparing and processing the material is described above, so it should only be said that you need to stock up on a sufficient amount of tape for the seams and do not forget to thoroughly clean the edges of the container from old glue.
If we are talking about a different boat design, then you can do it in a simpler way:
- Pump up the boat in the sun.
- Degrease the area around the seams.
- Pour in Nairite glue and rub it thoroughly into the seam.
- Dry.
The simplest repair kit for a boat has already been mentioned above, but there are also more complex kits suitable for all rubber boats in general. And such a set is an excellent help for a fisherman, since you can quickly patch up a boat even without fishing. Here's what's included in this first aid kit:
- Adhesive tape – 0.5 m.
- Rubber glue.
- Patches of different sizes.
- Rubber fabric.
- Oar ring – 2 pcs.
- Valve assembly – 2 pcs.
- Mushroom to the valve – 2 pcs.
- Valve gasket – 2 pcs.
- Figure eight gasket.
Such a “first aid kit” for a rubber boat can be bought in a specialized store, the price is low, about 300 rubles, or even cheaper. 
I would especially like to discuss what glue can be used to repair rubber boats.
For example, it is not recommended to vulcanize rubber boats, as it results in large holes.
There are many types of rubber cement available in countless stores, but when it comes to repairing a rubber boat, it is better to choose as carefully as possible.
Glue brand "4508"— they are good for sizing boats like “Ufimka”. Only if you strictly follow the instructions will everything be successful. If the glue is a little thick, dilute it with galosh gasoline. Price 100 rubles per 200 ml jar. 
Glue 88NT- also suitable for gluing a rubber boat, it holds well if all instructions are followed. won't let you down. Price 17 rubles per 50 grams.
Adhesive Tip Top SC 2000- very good glue, sticks tightly, designed for PVC, but can also be applied to a rubber boat. There is one drawback, you need to look for it; they usually order it online from original dealers.
DD6873 "Turkley", waterproof adhesive sealant - suitable for both rubber boats and PVC, highly recommended by users. The price is 270 rubles for 82 grams, the price is due to the fact that this is a US brand.
Glue Moment 88- according to reviews, this glue is less suitable for boats, but nevertheless can be used if you don’t have anything at hand. Price 105 rubles per 125 g.
Natural rubber rubber adhesive- you can glue, but it’s better to give preference to another one so that you don’t have to do the work again. Price 60 rubles for 50 ml.
You can buy these glues in stores for fishing enthusiasts, and simply in hardware stores. I would also like to emphasize the fact that they are all used for cold repairs that do not require vulcanization.
What kind of tape is used to repair a rubber boat?
For some tears, ordinary patches are not enough, and even when the seams are reinforced, you have to look for what will fit.
Ubiquitous, even ubiquitous PVC materials are unsuitable for repair, but it is a pity to throw them away, and there is nothing to repair with.
Our times, full of all sorts of things, make it possible to find special tape for rubber boats in rare stores, but usually this is 30 cm of tape for 450-600 rubles. Not a very bright prospect.
Experienced fishermen have found a very interesting and quite effective way to upgrade their precious rubber boat - you just need to find that treasured conveyor belt.
You can stick it entirely on the bottom of the boat, without bothering yourself with looking for micro-holes, or, to save money, cut it into strips and patches of suitable sizes.
Where to repair a rubber boat
If you have difficulty repairing the boat yourself, or the work ahead is too complex, you can contact service centers.
In Moscow:
- South-Western Administrative District, Odoevskogo proezd, 10.
- St. Kolodezny lane, 3 st.3.
- Altufevskoye Highway, 79d.
In St. Petersburg:
- Oktyabrskaya Embankment, 18 lit. B.
- Bogatyrsky Avenue, 18 k2 lit.
- Aptekarskaya Embankment, 12.
Despite the fact that there is widespread modernization and the replacement of traditional monumental materials with new, lighter and more affordable ones, conservatism among fishermen often wins.
Native and beloved rubber boats are not thrown away, but are carefully repaired, giving them their warmth. Of course, you can take them to a repair shop or repair shop, but most owners of such boats carefully patch them up themselves. The best and most reliable way to do this is described above.
Folk sign: The wind is directed against the current - the fish have left the riverbed for quiet creeks and lagoons!
