10 Best PVC Boat Adhesives

Whether your rubber boat is punctured, the PVC covering of your house has come off, the linoleum has torn, or any other problem with a PVC-based product has occurred, there is no need to buy dozens of different repair adhesives. It is enough to buy WAKOL and eliminate all problems with one product. This is a universal adhesive designed specifically for PVC, and any.

It is impossible to call it professional in relation to boats. And he is not the best in this regard. Yes, glue can repair a tear and even apply a patch, but this is more of a temporary solution. The glue is based on a modified polymer, which makes the place of gluing almost monolithic. True, he has a very large expense. Yes, and in a small package, the product is not produced. All this was the reason for placing WAKOL in such a place in the ranking, although it certainly cannot be called bad.

It is not often that manufacturers produce a real professional PVC adhesive in a similar form factor. A small tube of only 20 grams is often filled with household compounds, but now we have a professional version, and even produced exclusively in the USA. Hence the price, and also not the most honorable place in our rating.

Unfortunately, there are not so many reviews about the product, at least on Russian resources. But on American forums, glue is praised and called the best for repairing rubber boats.In addition, the composition is universal and suitable for any synthetic products, as well as products based on natural or polymer rubber. Drying time is only a few minutes, that is, the repair becomes as fast as possible, while the connection is very high quality and reliable. And the form factor allows you to always carry a tube with you and glue the boat in any conditions.

Professional products are often very expensive, but there are exceptions, one of which is now before us. It is a one-component PVC adhesive based on polyurethane resins. It does not require dilution with hardeners and is ready for use. The product is often used in professional workshops, as it has high performance. For example, the shear strength of a seam is 1,500 kilograms. An impressive result, especially given the temperature range from -40 to +80 degrees.

The composition is completely transparent, but if you believe the reviews on specialized resources, the glue turns yellow over time, which is an unsatisfactory characteristic. It is because of this that the composition got to such a place in the ranking. In addition, domestic use is not available for it. At a minimum, you will need a special tool and a certain skill.

Adhesives for PVC can be divided into professional and conventional. The most popular are conventional formulations. They are easier to work with, they do not require special tools and skills.This product belongs to the first category, that is, it is intended for professional use, so a 15-liter container is not something surprising.

On specialized forums, the product is praised a lot, often calling it the best of its kind. It is able to bond any materials based on PVC and rubber. Also works with leather, plastic, silicone products. The temperature range is the widest, from -40 to +70 degrees. We simply could not ignore KLEYBERG, but if you are not a professional in the repair of PVC products, it is better not to take such a complex product, but pay attention to one-component compounds, which are much easier to handle.

Studying specialized forums where people share their experience in repairing rubber boats, you come to the conclusion that Liquid Patch is the most popular product on the market. Note that these are reviews of ordinary users, and not professionals who are more skeptical about this product. The main advantage here is simplicity. Even despite the fact that the glue is three-component.

The bottom line is that you don't need a rubber patch. The polymer itself creates it after complete drying. You simply mix the ingredients and apply the adhesive to the damaged surface. The bonding point does not need to be pressed or placed under a press. Just let it dry for at least 12 hours. By the way, this product is already mixed, that is, ready for use. You can also buy the components separately to create your own glue of a certain viscosity. The main thing is that all components are from the same manufacturer.

It is unlikely that there will be a person in Russia or the CIS who has never heard this name. The Moment brand is the most advertised, and the manufacturer produces all types of adhesives, ranging from universal mixtures to highly specialized products, like this one. If we evaluated the glue solely on its popularity, then the Moment would definitely come in first place, but judging by the reviews, it is not worthy of it.

Professionals in the repair of PVC products have an extremely negative attitude towards this product, calling it an advertising dummy. No, glue cannot be called the worst. He does his job perfectly - glues rubber parts. It's just not suitable for professional repair. However, if you repair a rubber boat yourself, no one will forbid the use of this glue, there are simply compounds that are stronger and more durable, and much more attractive at a price.

On professional resources, where they share the experience of a rubber boat repairman, this glue often receives negative reviews. It is called very weak, short-lived and generally unsuitable for professional repairs. However, it still got into our rating due to the most attractive price. Yes, it will not be possible to perform a full repair with it. It's more of a temporary solution. If the puncture occurred on the road, with this glue you can quickly fix it.

Glue one-component, transparent. It applies easily and dries very quickly. You do not have to keep the patch under pressure for several hours. The perfect solution for a quick puncture repair.Yes, when you return home, you will have to repeat the procedure with a different, better product, but it makes sense to always keep a tube of Three Whales, which costs only 70 rubles, on hand in case of unforeseen breakdowns.

When handled with care, a rubber boat does not need repairs so often. Often this is a one-time puncture, for which it is a pity to buy expensive glue. In this case, an excellent option would be a universal product that, in addition to PVC, is able to glue almost any materials, both natural and synthetic. Ragneda has excellent adhesion to wood, metal, plastic, all kinds of silicones and fabrics. The glue is suitable for repairing shoes and gluing seams on linoleum.

The rubber boat is no exception. The composition is one-component, that is, nothing needs to be mixed. The glue is ready to use, and before applying it you just need to stir. The structure is resistant to moisture, but, judging by the reviews, the applied layer turns yellow over time, although it does not lose quality. In general, not the best glue specifically for PVC, but as a universal option in everyday life, it is simply necessary. In addition, it does not contain toluene, which means it is non-toxic.

Judging by the feedback from ordinary users whose rubber boat has received a puncture, repairs with one-component glue are much easier to make. There is no need to follow a strict proportion of components. But it is not always the case. For example, Vial glue is quite difficult to handle. It's all about the speed of its setting.It is calculated in seconds, after which the composition is completely dry.

It should be applied directly to the laid patch with a fully prepared surface. But after drying, the glued parts become almost monolithic. The principle of operation of the adhesive is to heat the rubber surface, due to which gluing occurs. Great option for a quick fix. It is simply necessary to have such a tube with you. Any small puncture or damage can be fixed in seconds with it, and nothing needs to be mixed.

Before us is a two-component adhesive for repairing PVC boats and other rubber-based products. It is not just that he got to the first place in the rating, as he is praised not only by ordinary users, but also by masters. Yes, the price may seem high, but if you need the most durable connection that will not disperse after the first loads, then it makes sense to buy this particular product.

By the way, the price tag is indicated for a one-liter can, and it is enough for many repairs. It may not be useful in everyday life, so the glue is more suitable for professionals. However, if you often use the boat and its cuts are normal for you, then you should immediately stock up on glue, reviews about it are extremely positive. In addition, it is suitable not only for PVC, but also for leather, wood and metal. The methods of working with different materials are similar, but we strongly recommend that you read the instructions before work.
