Dink Repairs

[John K Kudera]

Has anyone tried the Inland Marine product sold by West Marine for repairing those pin hole sized leaks in your inflateable dink? I have been driving myself nuts with a slow leak, and a friend suggested the Inland Marine Product. Thought I would ask here for ideas. BTW it is a Quicksilver.Thanks!

Use soapy water to identify the leak location

I thought I had a slow leak in the fabric on my Caribe Dink. I checked with soapy water and found that the valves were leaking, not the fabric or seams. I cleaned the valves out, tightened them on the fabric and had no more slow leaks.

Pin Holes

If this is the product that you pour into the valves and roll around inside the chambers, I have used it several times (different areas) and it works very well. I have a 10 year old Avon.
