Grab a spinsheet magazine
In issues of spinsheet you should see advertisments for two companies. Airboat and Inflatable Boat in West Chester. Inflatable Boat has a marina pick-up service and sevices Rock Hall marinas. I have used Inflatable Boat. Their work was good but (in my opinion) not inexpesive. They do charge for an estimate. Good Luck

I've had good results using a product called "Power Epoxy" for small repairs on inflatables. I bought online from iBoats.com Power Poxy Tear Repair

Defender has it
In Defender's 2005 catalog, page 14, under Weaver Snap Davits. Item #450496 for just the glue and item #450494 for the complete kit. The kit includes the glue plus MEK, mixing sticks, etc. I don't think the kit includes any patches, but I could be wrong. A local Zodiac dealer (possibly in the Annapolis area) should have both the glue and patch material. If you just need the glue, I think Defender is the way to go. They will ship by ground only- no extra fee. Good luck. Mix only what you need because you will probably need more in another year or so. PVC Zodiacs are notorious for seams coming unglued.

A cruisers remedy, I learned this from european cruisers, but widely known nowadays... Use 3M 5200! It works really well, and worst Marine sells patcing material by the square foot, I bought some hyperlon last year. Spray soapy water on the boat, has to be infalted, you will see bubbles where your leaks are.
Inflatable Boat out of business?
I tried calling Inflatable Boat in West Chester, PA and the toll free # from their web site wouldn't connect. I then tried calling the # listed in the Yellow Book and it was disconnected. Anyone know if they are out of business?
