Rib tube badges

Hi, recommendations needed for re-badging my Valiant V450 as the current tube badges are faded.

Many thanks

Withers79!

Stabond will bond the two materials together. Not sure how easily available it is in Europe though. Another option is to use two different glues, then a second layer to put them together after the layer dries . The third option is to use what you got and it should hold for a long time. Failure of said glue will not cause you to sink.

When we fixed up my tubes we put a shark my friend cut out on the side of the boat instead of the swooshes and AB labels. Then again I pull badges and stickers off most everything. Point being you can hand cut whatever you want from material. Print or make a pattern and have at it, as a sharp knife makes quick work of the material.
