My old inflatable has become porous. It's made of the neoprene, not
hypalon.
Have heard about some liquid that impregnates the rubber from the inside.
One is supposed to sip it into the chambers. Please if anyone knows where
to
find it (web address). Any experience?
Thx in advance.

You buy the stuff at garages and motor factors, it's for tyres which are
similarly afflicted. Used it on an old black Avon Redcrest years ago. The
dinghy used to deflate in about 2 days. After using this stuff, it was as
hard as a brick after 6 weeks! Not recommended by the makers of course, it
wouldn't be, would it? I would not deflate and roll up the dinghy once I had
used this stuff, but if you are one of these guys who leaves his boat
inflated in a marina, it's the tops!

Once injected through the valves, you will have to roll the dinghy around
like a tyre to get the liquid to coat all over the inside surfaces, good
excercise for the not-too-thin brigade!
