One of the sections of my roll-up floor of my Avon Inflatable dinghy is broken.. It's very expensive to buy a new floor. I'm thinking of mending it by cementing the PVC floor section between two Lucite sheets (a transparent acrylic material, like perspex I suppose). So, what do I use to bind the PVC to the acrylic sheet?? Thanks for any advice.. -NH.

I don't think it will work. The acrylic is way too brittle to hold up in the floor of your dink, even if you could bond it. Why don't you use PVC sheet and use PVC cement to bond it?

I have to find PVC sheet, that was why the other stuff was attractive.. I'll broaden my search.. Makes sense.. Thanks!

Try West Marine or Boat/US for PVC Sheet stock

I have bought large and small quanities of PVC sheet stock from both. It is expensive though! Steve, sv/ The Odyssey (H310)

TAP Plastics..

I found some at TAP Plastics in Bellevue, they also stock Island Girl cleaning products.. The PVC and cement cost about $7.00 Thanks for the advice..
