Check this out, this tube is in for replacement right now. The scrim is showing, the rubstrake is peeled up a bit, but the tube set is still holding air! This boat sits in 100 degree weather all summer in California.
If a person wanted to save money they could easily refurbish this tube with the urethane coatings available. A few layers of urethane and you are good to go!
I was wondering if I could coat my Avon (hypalon) rib tubes with the urethane coatings. Do you know if they would work on hypalon? I would key up the tube surface for better bond. The other thought was to use urethane glue as a primer prep for the bond of the urethane coat. Spread a thin coat of the urethane glue onto the hypalon before painting the tubes. I know Wing sells this coating for their urethane tubes. I just don't know if it could be used on hypalon. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming by the blue lights on the cabin that saving money is the least of this client's concerns.
