- Inflatable SUP boards are tough, but if you do get a hole or tear it's important to know how to fix it. For boards made of PVC or urethane-coated material, Clifton Urethane Adhesive is a great glue for applying a patch. Sometimes damage takes the form of abrasion to the coating, rather than a puncture. Fixing this can be done by painting on a coating of Aquaseal Adhesive, an abrasion-resistant, flexible urethane material. This video gives step-by-step instructions on applying both these repair solutions.

Very helpful. Many thanks.
Any video or tips on how to remove the patch if it didn't take/adhere properly?
Hi there guys, Tha k you for your videos! I have a question, when you apply I. The video the final coat of just glue without patch, which kind of product is it? I would love to buy it. Thanls in advance
what if the leak is half an inch from a seam? can i putch the patch over a seam?
I have a gash that is about 2 inches long. Immediately next to the fin is attached to the board. Mine is the body glove performer. It’s an older model and the fins look like they’re just glued or attached to the board. They don’t come out. the rip is right next to where those are attached the board the only way to patch. It is going to be with a patch that goes from the soft flexible material of the board and then go onto the hard plastic of the fit itself. I don’t know if if that’s even possible.
Could you send me a link to buy the aquaseal that you use to add extra layer to a sup who have a scratch not a Hole
If you cant get the clifton adhesive can you use aqua seal on the vinyl patch? Or another recomendation?
If I want to reinforce a scratched/slightly worn area with aquaseal as shown, can I paint the aquaseal over a few smaller areas I’ve already used aquaseal on? I had a few scratched areas I used aquaseal on as shown in the video, but I think I’d like to use aquaseal on that whole area now.
As long as the old Aquaseal isn't loose and the area is thoroughly cleaned you should be fine to re-coat. You'll end up with a better finished product if you remove the old Aquaseal but that isn't always possible.
Thanks for this video. I just patched my isup yesterday and am waiting for it to cure. Do you think I can use the urethane adhesive to adhere loose deck panels too?
Hi Robin! I'd recommend H2Glue for re-gluing decking, it works best with the foam.
I viewed a number of videos and tried to follow the routines expressed.
The holes were pin pricks on the bottom about an inch from the seam. I cut a patch about one and a quarter inch by three inches to cover the three small leaks.
Sanded. Cleaned. Cleaned again and applied two coats of the glue from the repair kit to patch and board with five minute dries.
Applied the patch and rolled a wheel tool over the patch. I waited twenty hours, then inflated. The patch held for a bit but then bubbled and began to leak. What can I do next to get back to the step one? Any suggestions about my errors?
Its hard to say what went wrong. It'd probably be best to give us a call (877-677-4327). Our customer service team would be happy to walk through the repair with you.
Here in Canada we have oately medium grey rain-r-shine PVC cement, would this work for SUP tear?
We're not familiar with that adhesive. In Canada you can check with Aquabatics. They should be able to get you the correct adhesive.
I had a small leak under the main fin box. I carefully removed the old fin box using pliers, a small putty tool and a heat gun (I got these instructions from another youtube video). Now I have several small holes in the area where the old adhesive (holding the fin box on) was -- I tried applying aquaseal to the leaks first, then applied a patch. Still leaks. I fear I have ruined my less than a year old $700 board. At this point I don't know whether I should try and remove all the glue and start over again, or give up.
At this point your best option would be to remove the patch and Aquaseal then start over. Use a patch big enough to cover the old fin box by 2 inches on all sides. Make sure to remove all of the old glue. The area you're patching should be smooth to the touch. Feel free to give us a call if you have additional questions 877-677-4327.
which aquaseal are you using? FD, SIl, Neo Same with seamgrip? SIL, WP.
I have a leak coming from around the PVC seal between the valve and the fabric. Its bubbling. Not sure what to do in this case as it seems the bond between the valve material and the rest of the PVC material of the inflatable is broken. A patch in this case doesn't seem like the correct approach. Can I just lay a bunch of solvent on the seam to "re-weld" it, or is there a better method to repair the valve area (note, the valve itself is functioning properly).
It sounds like the valve might be loose. Have you tried tightening the valve using a valve wrench? If you don't have a wrench give us a call and we'll see if we have one available 877-677-4327.
Hi - Does anyone know what material is used on Fit Wave by Fitpulse inflatable stand up paddleboard?
Hello Where do we get Clifton Urethane Adhesive in canada or the US..
Thanks for the comment John. You can purchase it on our website here: www.nrs.com/product/1901/clifton-urethane-adhesive. Give us a call (877-677-4327) or shoot us an email (service@nrs.com) if you have any other questions.
I'm a little confused as to how many glues you have to use. Is it just Aquaseal, or is there another glue in addition to that? Thank you!
Hey Anne, sorry for the confusion. If you're applying a patch to a hole, you'll want to use Clifton's Urethane Glue. The Aquaseal is more a preventative method for places on the board that look worn or scratched. Hope this helps!
Did you thin the Aquaseal? At 2:44 it looked way too easy to spread.
Most likely the Aquaseal was thinned using cotol, for your reference cotol is now called is Cure Accelerator. You can also use Seamgrip which is a thinner version of Aquaseal. Feel free to give us a call, 877-677-4327, or send us an e-mail, service@nrs.com, if you have any additional questions.
if your MEK to clean and chemically abrade the surface before applying the glue then surely when your cleaning the excess glue off your chemically abrading the surface of the pvc again??? this could cause the material to become porous over time especially if your repairing older pvc products.
Brek Brek sand paper is used to abrade neoprene and hypalon rubber inflatables but with pvc the MEK does abrade it
Hi Guys, if i have minor leaks along a seam could i use aqua seal to seal the seam?
Wondering the same thing.
hi can a tear in the sewing line be possible to fix?
Hello, Most of the time they can be fixed but it typically isn't as straight forward as what we've shown in this video. It would probably be best to send us some pictures of the damage and we can go from there. You can send pictures along with a description of the damage to service@nrs.com.
Are there any videos on TH-cam without any Downvotes? That video was flawless but there is always one basement dwelling freak
Hi, i have some bubbles in my inflatable board, like some internal layers are getting separated. How can I fix It?
Depends if it's under a wear/grip patch, It's likely the strings may have broken that hold the top and bottom together if that is the case it's not possible. If there is in fact layer separation the only way is to slit it open down to the broken layer and glue the inside of the bubble, I would highly avoid it if possible.
Hi, My SUP has blown the seam about 12 inches back from the bow nose. How do a best repair it?
Hi Jim, do you have a NRS board? A seam leak should be covered by the warranty. If the board is no longer covered by a warranty your best option is to re-glue the seam. Adding a patch over the top will help strengthen the seam. Its pretty common for a seam issue to travel down the seam. So fixing one area can cause the seam next to your patch to blow. Good luck with the repair.
Hi, I have a fanatic flyair with windsurf mast insert, my problem is that the leak comes from the insert, it sound and bubbles like it is deep inside the screw hole. I have no idea how to fix it, can you help me with tips?
Hi Pedro, We might be able to give you some advice on your repair but we'll need more information. Can send some pictures and a description of the problem to service@nrs.com?
Hi thank you for getting back to me. Here is the link with pictures and a short video of the leak : drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rcgFL5pTA2eGq2vYY8bSmuTg7T2U82J2
Meanwhile I come up with an idea, what do you think about using a ring of vynil glued around the insert + one of this screws : www.vagueetvent.com/vis,decompression-153381-11109.html.
Does this make any sense?
If so, does this type of screw fits inside a mast insert?
Thank you a lot, it seems silly to let go an entire paddle double layered because of such small hole.
which width roller do you recommend?
Great question Carol. The narrower the edge of the roller wheel, the more pounds per square inch pressure you're putting on the material. But of course, the more strokes it takes to cover the area. Our folks in the boat factory use the 2" x 1/16" tools and really lean into their work. So personal choice, but I'd go either 1/16" or 1/8".
Depends where you are using it, on a paddle board it's open and you can use most rollers narrow ones are good for corners and tight spaces . I would say 1" is best since you dont want to leave pressure lines in your glue surface that may possibly leak, on pvc it's less important to pressure contact since it is a chemical adhesive not a contact adhesive rolling the air out and making sure your timing is right is key.ta
My SUP has a tear a bout 10 inches long, do you think this method would work anyways?
Hello, For a tear that large you might want to try sewing the tear before you patch it. When you patch something that large the patch has to not only seal the air but also hold the fabric together. If you sew the tear then the patch is only sealing the air. This advise really depends on the location of the tear. If its near a seam that complicates things a bit. Its probably best to give us a call and we can talk over the options 877-677-4327.
can i just use normal PVC weld glue? (oh by the way, MEK smells AWESOME)
Hello Chris, Not sure what you're referring to with "normal PVC weld glue." If you're talking about PVC glue for raft repair then it'll probably work, but I'd have to know the specific brand to tell you for sure. If you're talking about PVC glue for plumbing parts it won't work. The glue would also depend on what type of repair you're going to do. You're welcome to give us a call at 877-677-4327 and talk specifics about your repair.
@@NRSWEB Hi, thank you for your great reply, yes I was thinking of the same glue you would use to weld pvc pipes together, you say it won't work!? then I have to think of an alternative....
HOw about when the leak goes through the foot foam?
If the leak is under the foam the foam will have to be cut away before the leak can be repaired. Its possible to carefully remove the foam without damaging it. After the hole has been fixed the the foam can be glued back into place. To remove the foam you'll need to soften the glue bond using MEK. Feel free to give us a call at 877-677-4327 if you have any additional questions.
May I know MEK is stand for what?
What if the hole is near a seam? Do you still overlap the seam to attain 3in on either side?
A hole near a seam is difficult. Try to avoid patching over the seam with an air holding patch. Depending on the size and how close it is to the seam you can try using a small patch that goes up to the seam then go over the whole area with a larger patch to protect the smaller air holding patch. You can also use Aquaseal to fix the leak then cover that with a protective patch. Feel free to give us a call if you have additional questions(877-677-4327).
@@NRSWEB Thank you. The hole was about an inch from the seam. It was a very small hole. I didn't even realize it until several weeks after I noticed what I thought was just a surface abrasion. Noticed it bubbling while off the back swimming. I cut a small patch and placed it flush with the seam. I've since been out 4 times and it seems to be holding strong. Thanks for the video and the advice.
I had a few little seam bursts over a week. I've had the board for a month.
Should I trade it in? Or try to fix it?
What's everyone's opinion about flexseal on inflatable sups?
Seam repairs can be a bit tricky, and we wouldn't expect that to be an issue after only a month. I'd recommend reaching out to your dealer or a professional repair facility!
Have a hole on the side. Very difficult
Hi Stephen, Holes on the side can be tough. Also holes near seams are a challenge. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. 877-677-4327
What about repairing a hole which is leaking at a seem?
Holes at the seam are certainly more difficult. Trying to lay a patch over a seam seldom works. Its typically best to but the patch up to the seam then possibly add another patch over the whole area. Another option if the hole is small enough would be to use Aquaseal to seal the hole. You're welcome to give us a call at 877-677-4327 if you have additional questions.
How can i get the reinforcement chemical
Hi William, we sell all the materials and adhesives used in this video at nrs.com. The solvent used, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is available at most hardware stores. If you have any more questions, email service@nrs.com or call 1-800-635-5202. Good luck! -Mark
NRS thanks 🙏
Cool. Looks like I need to go buy about 50.00 worth of items to repair my SUP that I will never ever use again after this.
How about clear flex seal?
Hi Steve, We've never tried flex seal so I'm not sure if it will work or not. My guess is that it might work for a short time but will end up failing prematurely. Personally I would use the method of patching shown in this video.
@@NRSWEB thanks. I have a tiny leak on the furthest corner so I figured your method might be too big.
Listening to this music all I can think is...
One of these days
The ground will drop,...
Mine is ripped along the side under the red thing
Give us a call at 877-677-4327 and we'd be happy to help you out with the repair.
Which side of the pach???
Are you asking what side of the patch material you apply glue? If its PVC it doesn't really matter. Typically the only difference is texture. I'd try to match the texture of the patch to the texture of the inflatable.
@@NRSWEB thanks!
You didnt tell us the glue
Not sure exactly which glue they're using in the video but we'd recommend Clifton PVC Adhesive or Stabond. You can find both by following the link below.

WHAT GLUE ?????
Hi Kevy, we recommend using Clifton PVC Adhesive with the Clifton ACC 4844 Accelerator for repairing PVC SUP boards.
you look sleepy😀
it's the glue 🤣
