Default Inflatable Kayak with mouse eaten hole

Haven't patched one, but you might look at the patches that they sell
for those inflatable matresses.
I know my Coleman matress has a large patch that comes with so that
might be a good enough size to cover your hole. As far as material,
not sure if this would work for you or not.

There are glues that basically weld/melt the plastics together
(remember the old model car glue...)...not sure if this is what you'd
want. I'd think you'd want the glue to do the bonding....which I'd
think the matress glue might do.

Anyhow, just posting as I see nobody else hadn't yet!

cheers

I have a Semperit (now Grubner I think) inflatable Kayak which mice chewed
a ~2''x2" hole in on the outside of the kayak.

The kayak is ~20 years old.

The name of the Kayak is "Forelle II". I has the markings "TDP 01.83 MADE
in Austria" on it.
It seems to be made out of a thick rubber of some sort.

I would like to patch it up so I can use it again. Please tell me (If you
can) where I can get the proper patch material. I would be willing to
bring it to someone to repair. I am in Westchester County in New York.

Thanks
