I have a relatively new inflatable Aleko 12.5 boat. I noticed it has a slow leak where multiple layers overlap. How should I fix this? I have stabond. Do I need to tear apart the layers or can I mix some stabond up and inject it into the layers?
Too late. haha. I decided to wing it. I mixed up some sta-bond, sucked it up into a hypodermic needle slid it all the way in along the seam and then injected it as i pulled it out. Hopefully it works. I let it sit for 30hrs in my shop and pumped it up with air last night. I will see if its still holding when i get off work.
Well ****. Too late I didn’t do all that. There’s no way I could have got any cleaner up there anyhow unless I injected it but I was worried that I’d be loosening more glue. I already had to work pretty hard to get the needle up there with the sta-bond. At least I had the boat in my heated shop. So I did one thing right. Ha. It’s been holding air for two days now so you think it’s worth deflating to let the glue cure more?
