Nice one Karl. And have a great Xmas!

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

All the best buddy 👍😁

Thanks, I have just ordered some Tear Aid type A from Amazon, since the repair kits supplied with my packraft and kayak are a little on the miserly side. That's always the worry about inflatable boats (rigid boats have their own problems).

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

You're welcome 👍😁

Brilliant that Karl and very useful to know 👍 i was going to get some of that dr boat sealer have you ever used it ?? But for a quick on the water fix, all of those options look good, thanks for sharing and i hope you and yours have a fantastic Xmas 🎉 Atb Mick 👍

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

Cheers Mick, I'm glad it's useful. I've not heard of the stuff mentioned. I've got some Dr Boat amzn.to/488I4df to try at some point.
All the best buddy 🎅🎄☃️

Thanks for doing this to your raft, Carl! Do you consider this to be a permanent solution? If not, how easy is it to get the tape off so you can do a full repair?

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

I'm actually interested to see how long they last!
As for removing them, they'll probably peel off. If they don't, a little WD 40 will do the trick 👍😁

I've wondered how Gorilla tape compares? I keep some in my boat bag sometimes just in case.

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

You could always stick some to the underside of your boat before launching and see if it's still in place at the end of your paddle :)

[@classicarcadeamusementpark4242]

@@MoreThanJustaCleaner Actually I've used it on my floor of my Paddleski 435ps which has a few small drain holes. As I use a Torqeedo 3HP lithium motor, at that speed when it's choppy water spouts through so I cover up the holes with Gorilla tape. I don't really need drain holes. By design you can't get more than a half a foot of water inside anyway I don't think. It lasts about a season or two, but is not permanent. Might be easier to get off if a hole was patched to make a more permanent patch.

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

It does sound like it's pretty robust though! :D

I used similar tape for emergency repair in fiberglass boat. It was enough to reach safe harbor after several sailng hours.
