I know I am going to receive a lot of harsh comments regarding this post, but I have no affiliation with the company or its product. Just relating my personal experience. After 12 years, our haplon inflatable was leaking air from many locations, mostly due to abrasion. Not able to obtain the proper repair components, I thought I would try to cover the areas with "Flex Seal liquid". To my surprise, after 2 months of use and temps ranging +/- 50 deg. the repair is holding up and no air leaks in the pontoons. For me this was a cheap and easy fix and seems to work rather well.

Interesting.
What is the cost compared to purpose made products ?
I wonder what happens when the bond fails ? Could it be reapplied ?
Does it damage the hypalon over time ?
When an inflatable is really far gone i guess any solution that works... Even for a while... Works.
A quick search shows other rubberized liquid coating products by rustoleum and gorilla brands.
Someone in my town is selling a product for sealing inflatables from the inside for $40 CAD works with hypalon and pvc.
I wonder what it actually is... Be interesting to see an MSDS.

Dinghy is my first comment. Not dingy. It has been found that two part adhesives for dinghies are much better than one part, but they are hazmat and so shipping them is more difficult.
