    You must have had those products a while. Ben the owner of ribright was one of my best friends and sadly passed away in Feb 2020 just before first lock down
    Having built and repaired boats and ribs for near 20years I feel I should give you some pointers for future reference.
    You where using too much adhesive,
    You should have got the old glue off
    You should have done one coat then left it atleast an hour.
    When applying the patch fit the middle first let the air out the tube and roll it middle outwards, then use a hair dryer to warm it, put a board behind it and using a roller or screwdriver handle role it again,

      Hi yes I kept the boat for a few years without any further issues before selling it. I know the guy who bought it and as far as I know it is still fine.

    Did you clean the surface first or sanded it?
