On my Zodiac Zoom 310 S with wood floor, a 1-foot section of the floor fabric has become detached from the tube on the starboard side of the bow.

I've read about the 2-part urethane glues - Polymarine brand is what I can get locally, from West Marine. Problem is, I've read that the humidity has to be below 70% to use this glue, and that won't happen here in Miami until after November, if at all. Even inside my (drafty, old) house.

Is there any glue (or any other bonding method) I can use that will see me through until winter?

Re: Temporary floor repair

It needs to be below 55% humidty if you want it to stay glued. Emergency one part glue is available from any inflatable dealer, however, it will probably let go on you at the wrong time. You can look forward to the rest of the boat falling apart on you over the next 12 months. Not much of a service life in a UV heavy area with above 60 degree average tempatures.

Thanks, Elvin, I'll give the 1-part a try and hope for the best.
