    Hi,
    I have a small inflatable dinghy I bought in Lidl; cheap and cheerful but I'm very attached to it. Just noticed a fairly big hole in it (more like a cut really; don't know how it happened). I have similar material to patch it; I'm just wondering if anyone could recommend the best type of glue or, more likely, solvent, and where in Dublin or Kildare I could get some. Thanks in advance

    I have two part glue I bought in the Chandlery in Malahide. Most boat Chandlers will have two part glues for patching Ribs/punts. If you go the DIY route take the time to prepare the surface and allow the glue to cure for at least 24 hours before use. There are lots of good guides with images online on how to do this repair.
