Hyperlon RIB

Do you let out air if moving to a hotter location ? RIB was professionally repaired in BNE say 21deg C , now in FNQ 30 deg C typical. Tight as a drum !

Re: Hyperlon RIB

Do you mean Hypalon?

Yes, you do. We've always used Rema TipTop SC2000 or 4000, an industrial two part contact glue, but others here have reported good results using G-flex epoxy which would be an easier fix.

And yes, it is Hypalon, not Hyperlon!
