Reparing an old Zodiac

Have just got a 4 Meter Zodiac that leaks Air.

Have heard that there is an Spray/Brush on Rubber that is quite durable and would plug Air and Water leaks.
Also fills in scratches

Does any one know what it is aod/or who makes the product?

 

monkey grip tire patch kit ,,,sold at pep boys auto ,good stuff

 

sorry about not replying sooner internet probs.

I should have also added that

The boat has a few Holes some in harder to reach places and have also just discovered that the valves do not turn to isolate the 3 seperate air compartments as they have become cloged with salt crystals.
Is there an easy way to remove the salt with out removing the valves from the boat?

spray water with a garden hose into the valves to disolve the salt

 

Thanx mate
will try after work tomorrow

 

The material you've been looking for is SRC Tuff Coat. It's a 2 part system with a sealant coat then a synthetic rubber coating. I am fixing to redo my 16 foot zepplin rib's tubes with it, if you can wait a couple weeks I'll let you know how good it is.

 

If the fresh water hose flush does not free up the air valves, try soaking the valves (hard to do, but should be possible with the cells deflated, perhaps a wide tub or tray will help). Some vinegar added to the water will help dissolve inorganic (salt) deposits. Warming the water to 35 C or thereabouts before soaking will help, with or without the vinegar.

A worthwhile project; good luck, mate!
