Repair kit reccomendation please?
Hi Everyone
I have a little pinprick in my Northcraft (Hypalon tubes) and wonder if there is a RIB equivalent of my bicycle repair kit that I can use and then carry with me should i get any further holes. The Bostik 2402 (or whatever) has a shelf life of 9 months so wouldnt last
Regards
Cameron

Best thing to carry on board is one of those clam-seal things. Cost about £20 and clamps on both sides of the tube sealing the hole. Glue isn't an option at sea....

IUn the good old days of Ribnet you would have got a lot of help for this request, but sadly those days seem to have gone. 
If you want a small repair kit try inflatable boat suplies or PM me your address and I will snd you some stuff!
Tim M advice is right but it's a temporay fix and needs to be patched upon return or e;se the hole will expand to a size just a bit bigger than the Clamseal

How can you clam-seal a pin prick? Don't you have to jam the other half of the sealer inside the tube?

Fair comment, In fact you would probaqbly fis a pin prick at sea you's just pump it a couple of times, if the hole however was a bit bigger then it would need fixing.
You can in fact fisx it with glue at sea providing the hole is above de waterline
. If you are using teh Clamseal you have to elongate the hole so the clamseal can fit in

a good get you home tip for very small holes is to squirt some silicon sealer in the tube through the hole and keep squirting as you pull the nozzle of the sealer out of the hole this will form a temporary plug and hold the tube up at low pressure for a reasonable amount of time until you can repair properly . the best glue for a repair kit is bostik inflatable glue that comes as a single part glue in a tube or any other single part hypalon/neoprene glue in order to get a longer shelf life . P.S .sorry about the long reply time stu but i have been workin hard for a change

Would a can of acetone and gaffer tape not be a good temporary get you home solution?

Cameron,
I carry some tape, Duck brand seems to be the best of bad bunch (Rogue I agree) for a fast but very temporary fix.
And one of these for a more permanent fix. http://cat.polymarine.com/acatalog/I...pair_Kits.html
