PaulSD1984 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Will super glue work for patching a small hole in an inflatable boat? I found 3 very small holes in mine from one of my cats dang claws lol. I have an old air mattress I cut patches out of and I'm trying rubber cement right now but I hate having to wait 24 hours. Quote
Fish4bigfish Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 No. Go to Walmart and get an air mattress patch. 1 Quote

Both the material and the glue are better for the types of material your boat is made out of. I tried superglue on my Sea Eagle, and then later tried a Intex patch kit....the patch kit was substantially better suited for the job. You've got a nice boat, use the best to repair it. Quote
PaulSD1984 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Thanks guys. I cut some penny size patches out of my air mattress and glued them down last night so hopefully by tonight they will be solid enough to go fishing tomorrow. Quote
PaulSD1984 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Update. Just in case anyone else runs into this problem. Since the nearest wal mart is 2 hours from where I live and I didn't wanna wait for something to come in the mail I went to the hardware store and looked through the super glues and found the loctite go2 glue. I have the boat inflated and it seems to be holding air. I did the soapy water test and seen no bubbles. The glue is apparently water, shock and heat resistant. So hopefully Monday or Tuesday goes without a hitch. Quote
