PVC boat glue.
Aqua Cruiser two-component polyurethane glue for PVC inflatable boats.
Aqua Cruiser professional ley is used for convenient, reliable and high-quality self-repair and modernization of inflatable boats made of PVC fabric. Forms a strong and elastic seam, resistant to the influence of water and atmospheric phenomena. 2-component polyurethane glue can be used for gluing and repairing other PVC products.
To increase the heat resistance and strength of gluing, it is necessary to use glue of a two-component mixture with a hardener.
Two-component polyurethane glue for PVC, unlike one-component, has higher strength characteristics, it is more resistant to harmful effects, aggressive environments, elevated temperatures. For example, if the glue is without a hardener, it "flows" when heated for a long time in the strong sun, especially for black parts and dark boats.
Glue packaging: 80 ml tube + hardener.
Approximate consumption of 2-component polyurethane glue Aqua Cruiser for PVC boats: 400 ml/m2.
Instruction:
Prepare the glued surfaces well (clean from dirt and degrease!). Ethyl acetate or acetone - is used for mandatory degreasing of surfaces that are glued together (do not apply great effort, as acetone gradually erases the upper layer of the PVC fabric). Ethyl acetate is also used to dilute polyurethane glue to the desired consistency.
For tuning PVC boats: Rolled up! on the boat, mark the place of gluing the part with masking tape or insulating tape.
Polyurethane glue, before use, is mixed with a hardener (1:20), which is supplied with the glue (Lifetime of two-component glue after mixing both components for 2-3 hours!!!)
Apply a thin layer of glue with a brush on BOTH degreased surfaces, wait until it dries (approximately 10-15 minutes), apply a thin layer a second time, wait again (the glue must dry so that it does not stick to the hands). Carefully and accurately apply our part. We take a hair dryer (you can use an ordinary household one) and heat it evenly, taking your time, the point is not to melt the part, but to heat the adhesive joint.
We carefully press and rub the part against the balloon, using any convenient smooth object, for example, the handle of scissors. If a bubble or a fold has formed, until the parts have cooled down, they can be reheated and smoothed out.
All work should be carried out in a well-ventilated place at an air temperature not lower than 15°C, under a roof or in dry weather.
