Bostic - get it from the glue guru in wairau rd...

Works great. but as above, once one seam goes, the whole lot is suspect :-(

and very difficult to get a good bond to weathered surfaces

Thanks all especially Luigi.That's nice !. Unfortunately it seems you misunderstood. It's the wooden transom that's come away from the rubberised / PVC insert frame.The dinghy itself is in primo condition and what's happened is a glue failure. Thx IT.

Did exact same repair and it worked . Used the bostic with a special additive . Made sure transom was dry and sanded it back to fresh wood then sealed with epoxy . Use MEK to clean off old glue . Use care with MEK or you will end up growing a 3rd testicle ....or worse

I've been wondering the same thing. Left the deflated dink in the back of the car for a few days, pulled it out to find transom and handles coming unstuck.

 

Oops.
