An inflatable board almost never fails catastrophically. What happens is a slow leak: firm on Saturday, soft by Sunday afternoon, and nobody can find the hole.<\/p>\n

Nine times out of ten the fix is a two dollar dab of the right adhesive. The trick is knowing which adhesive, because household glue on PVC either peels off or attacks the material.<\/p>\n

Two approaches work. A vinyl cement plus a PVC patch is the traditional repair, permanent and strong. A liquid patch fills the puncture with PVC that cures into the skin, with no patch at all, and is faster for pinholes.<\/p>\n

We compared eight adhesives and repair kits that work on drop-stitch board material, and sorted them by which repair each one actually solves.<\/p>\n
