    Default sticky situation?


    I have a Sevylor inflatable kayak, Tahiti hunt and fish model. What kind of glue is useable on the material used to make it? I want to attach some stuff and screws are obviously out of the question.

    No glue was used to make it, it is welded. You might try vynabond or stabond, however use it on a test piece first. Seyvlors are pretty thin, and those glues can be pretty hot.

    Thanks, I did some checking, and it's made from PVC. I have some PVC cement to try, checking it on a noninflated, above the waterline area is good advice.

    PVC cement will more than likely be too stiff, so when the boat flexes the bond will either break or the pvc fabric will stretch near the glue line. The ones I listed above are made to work with pvc rafts (whitewater) so they should be more flexible than pvc cement. Vynabond is also listed on SeaEagles (made by Sevlor) website: Care & Preservation
