Fender repair
 

I've been offered two large blue Taylor fenders, but am told they leak.
What kind of cement/glue would work to fix them?

I have an idea to push a small piece of material with this yet
un-named substance on it through the hole like they repair radial tires,
but don't want to screw it up by using the wrong stuff.

Friend of mine filled a couple of fenders with foam spray...you know,
the stuff used to fill leaks in houses and what not?

They are still pretty soft, and never ever deflate. I thought it was a
clever idea given the cost of fenders, although I haven't tried it myself.

You might contact Taylor. Ours had a lifetime guarantee (about 20 years
ago, but we have the tags....)

If they are Taylor you should contact them for replacements. I'm not
sure that they are still doing it but in '98 I sent them two medium
fenders that were crushed by a large motorsailor(given to me so I had
not receipt))against a dock during a hurricane. Taylor sent me back two
hugh ones with appologies that they were temporarily out of the size I
had sent them. Amazing company.
