Re gluing plastic rib to rubber tubes

[GreenHeaven]

Is this even cost effective?


The "hull" has separated from the tubes along the entire length of the dingy except at the transom. seems to me ALL the seams will have to redone INCLUDING the transom.
I read one comprehensive artivle about this with solvents to remove old hard glue, prep all surfaces, prep adhesive and then finally re gluing with special glue.


Sounds expensive and very time consuming. I cant do it while cruising, and in the Med, I suspect the price during peak of summer season would be prohibitive.


Its a fairly nice dingy apart form all that, but I suspect the answer is to buy a new one.


Thats also a challenge right now and no, Barvaria24.com doesnt take credit cards.
