what glue for minor tube repair?

Hi
I have a minor tube tape that requires re-glueing.
It is Hyperlon.
What glue would a professional use?
Can this be sourced locally to Soton

Thanks

Bostik 2402 is what most boat builders use and should be available from most good Chandlers. If it's a coner of a seam or patch then I've used some Polymarine Inflatable Glue (Contact adhesive), mines in a tube. I'm sure that there would be quite a few different products on the shelf for repairing Tubes on RIBs, just make sure it says Hypalon on the side as some are PVC specific and are not suitable.
