Inflatable Boats: How to Glue on a Patch (2020)

WAIT!!! Before you glue a patch on your boat read the rest of the description. Did you know that most damage to the outer shell of an AIRE boat can be patched using welding techniques? AIRE boats are welded together for a reason. Welded seams are tougher and last longer than glued seams. Just send your boat in to an authorized AIRE repair shop to have it done, especially if your boat is still under warranty. To find a repair shop follow this link. www.aire.com/service-centers
Still want to glue your boat? No worries. This video will walk you through the process.

Helpful Tips:
- Make sure you’re in a well-ventilated area. The glue emits fumes that are best kept on the outside of your lungs.
- Watch the whole video before starting the process and make sure you have all of the tools on hand.
- Wear protective gloves when working with glue.
