made of hypalon. Has anybody actually done this? If so, what glue did
you use, and how good were your results?
A different post mentioned
that there is a less-expensive two-part glue called Rema Tip Top
SC-2000 that works on hypalon, but whether it will also adhere to the
PVC fabric is unknown (I may try contacting the company directly to see
if they can advise me). I haven't yet found a dealer for the SC-2000,
but I'll ask the company about that, too.

So, has anybody actually done this and gotten acceptable results?
I have had great success with SC2000 for repairs to inflatable boats & it just about sticks anything to anything. Aply with a brush to both sides or give a thicker coat to one side & you dont have that long a pot life so have it all ready & preped to go before you add your hardner ! I used an old keel tube as the material to repair blown seams & holes/tears. Use the buffer before applying & ensure good contact with weights , straps tape or whatever & leave for as long as possible to set & reach full strength. I usually leave them for 3 days min. more the better.
Try to get the hardner in the right proportion which I think was 25 to 1.
In our warmer climates less hardner is better than more & it reaches a higher strength I think though it may take an extra day to cure too much hardner compromises the flexibility & strenght I think. I bought mine through a tire shop but there are a couple of suppliers - a 1kg with hardner is about $80 plus on one site & you need a can of buffer I think you can buy the lot in a kit.
