(Canadian) PVC Zodiac repair question

[Scotchyscotch]

I have a PVC zodiac that needs quite a few small holes repaired. The local boat shop sells a small patch kit but I would need several of them to get the job done. I have been trying to find information on what adhesive to use on PVC boats that can be found within Canada. Clifton Hypalon, Shore, Stabond, Clifton Urethane, Vynabond and G/flex Epoxy are all recommended but I can't seem to find anything like it in Canada. Anyone have any experience with this?

Cheers
Scotch.

They are located in Tecumseh, Ontario Canada

Whitewater, Weaver, PolyMarine all make solvent-type PVC adhesives. Search your local river rafter supply. One of the great features of PVC material is the ability to do a fast patch. 15 minutes. Clean the area with MEK, scuff it, apply adhesive, apply patch.

Thanks for the insight. I talked to a local marine repair shop, a certified zodiac repair/dealership and they use a product called HH-66 vinyl cement. It cost $15(Cad) for 237ml, y far the cheapest product I have found. I did a test on a scrap piece of PVC and it works like a charm!

Thanks again and happy sailing.

Yes, HH-66 works great. Didn't know they were still selling that product.
