I did the same with used 30 year olds Hypalon Achilles boat. Hypalon faric is expensive, so I end up get another used Achilles boat for $50 on Facebook market place for parts LoL. The glue is expensive as well 1 sqrt of glue is about $40-$60 buck, or bunk 10 sqrt glue about $100.

@@frankmills5284 Me too but the part there I was at had really slimmy wet sand an it was better to drag it. What I did not realize was that there must've been some sharp objects that scratched and punctured the boat. Not a deal breaker but it sucked. Thankfully it's all fixed now and I even reinforced those areas just in case. The Satrun SD models usually come with the extra protection but tnis is a BB290 that was marketted as a budget boat so it has a few drawbacks.

I clean before sanding , but not after. Better bond. A 1" brush is better, more consistent brush strokes. Better to use a flat tool and push air out with long strkes as opposed to little stabs, then use a roller.

The glue can be heat activated, which means you can take off the old patches with a heat gun. Just don't heat it when inflated.

If excess glue spills out how do you clean it up? I've heard some people use a Dremel tool and lightly sand it. Some people say to use a strong solvent like toluene? What is your opinion Mr. Erick, since you are my go to boat mentor lol

Kerosene works well. If you use isopropyl alcohol before the glue cures, it will get it out as well.
