My old (1991) Avon Dinghy is in pretty good shape except the rubrail is coming loose from the tubes. About two years ago I put it in an inflatable repair shop here in Ft. Myers, to have the rubrail reglued, but it is worse than ever today. About 4' is hanging loose on one side and 2' on the other. I would appreciate any info on how to reglue the rubrail to the tubes: type of glue, technique, etc. Thanks in advance.

Have you considered calling the

manufacturer of the boat and asking them?

I can imagine that's frustrating, having had it repaired and ending up worse off. First, is it PVC or Hypalon? It's important to know. Glue and procedure will be different depending on material.
