Review of popular brands

There are eleven popular manufacturers of rubber mixtures, whose products are most often used.

Rubber cement

It is a high quality compound made from natural rubber mixed with solvents. Rubber Cement is most commonly used to bond elastic products. After drying, the glue layer resembles rubber in its consistency.

4508

People who are interested in waterproofing products should pay attention to 4508. It is used in the manufacture of products made of rubber

4508 does not lose its properties in contact with water and therefore can be used when repairing wetsuits or rubber boats for fishing. Among the disadvantages of the funds are the fact that it quickly ignites if it is near a fire.

88 CA

It is a versatile adhesive that is used for bonding metal, wood, glass, concrete, fabric and plastic surfaces. 88 CA is resistant to temperature changes, so it can be used at temperatures ranging from minus fifty to plus sixty degrees. Store 88 CA in dark rooms, protected from children.

Loctite

It is a one-component adhesive mixture that only begins to cure at room temperature. Therefore, experts recommend using Loctite only indoors. Suitable for gluing wood, metal, plastic and rubber surfaces. The advantage of Loctite is that it hardens in 10-15 seconds after use.

"Gum"

Fans of elastic products should turn their attention to "Gummy". It is used in the repair and manufacture of products from durable fabric or rubber.

Also "Gummi" is suitable for gluing cardboard, paper, wood and natural leather. Among the advantages of the glue are resistance to low temperatures and high humidity.

"Radical"

People who are going to repair a wetsuit should use Radical. It is ideal for restoring water supplies as it is highly resistant to moisture.

"Mark A"

Such a tool is used during the manufacture of rubber or leather shoes, bicycle tubes and tires. "Grade A" contains components that exhibit increased adhesion to glass, leather, wood, rubber, paper and foam rubber. Resistant to low temperature and high humidity values. Thanks to this, it is used both indoors and outdoors.

88n

It is a yellowish homogeneous mass, in which there are no foreign inclusions or lumps. 88n is recommended for bonding materials such as plastic, leather, rubber, wood, ceramics, glass, porcelain and paper. The mixture hardens within ten hours after application. When stored for a long time, a little sediment may appear in the liquid, but it does not affect the properties of the glue in any way.

GOST 2199-78

According to GOST, adhesives made from natural or synthetic rubber can be used in several fields of activity. They are used in the manufacture of leather furniture or footwear. Also, glue is often used to make rubber products that are often in contact with water.

Plasti Dip

Such a product is made on the basis of an aqueous emulsion containing bitumen-type polymers. Plasti Dip is used for bonding thin rubber materials, paper or wood. The composition is durable and shock-absorbing.

Rubber cement

Rubber cement is often used to restore rubber products. It is often used to repair punctured inflatable boats, bicycle tubes or mattresses. The advantages of Rubber cement include fast solidification, reliability and resistance to moisture.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Bustilat include the following:

Composition safety. The substance does not harm the human body.
Ease of use. The tool can be combined with different types of materials. This is very convenient, since only one composition is enough for repairs. In such a situation, there is no need to buy several special tools.
Excellent elasticity and high adhesive properties. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve high strength of the fixing of materials over a long period of time.
Low shrinkage and excellent adhesion. These parameters provide high reliability of the coupling with natural and artificial materials. As a result, it is possible to obtain a strong and even seam.
Multifunctionality. The composition can be used as an adhesive or a primer. It can also act as a waterproofing mixture.
Affordable price. This is due to cheap raw materials and optimization of the production process.

The product has no major flaws. The only drawback is considered to be low durability. In this case, it is worth giving preference to modern multicomponent formulations.

Rating of the best adhesives

Numerous observations of anglers allowed us to make a rating of adhesives and draw conclusions which one is better to choose to eliminate cuts and scratches from a PVC boat.

"RK-2" - glue is perfect for gluing rubber and PVC products. As a result of gluing the surfaces of "RK-2", an elastic and reliable seam is formed. The glue is characterized by increased resistance to water, temperature changes and other atmospheric changes.

"UR-mono" is a one-component adhesive that is used without hardeners. The composition is characterized by increased water resistance, UV-resistant and at the same time low-toxic. Glue "Ur-mono", most often, repair coatings made of polyvinyl chloride.

Texacol is a polyurethane-based adhesive specially designed for bonding synthetic materials such as polyurethane and PVC. It can be two- and one-component. The composition is applied without hot reactivation, has an increased initial adhesion. If hardeners (Desmodur RC, Desmodur RFE, Polydur PU 65) are used together with the adhesive, its characteristics are improved: excellent thermal and hydrolysis resistance is observed.

Advice! If you need to strengthen the armor of the bottom of the boat, then add Desmodur RC, Desmodur RFE is perfect for repairing the cylinder.

"Vinikol 1520" refers to polyurethane compounds, which are designed for gluing synthetic materials to each other, including for the repair of swimming facilities made of polyvinyl chloride. The adhesive is very resistant to water degradation (hydrolysis).

Penosil Fix Go - the composition is made on the basis of epoxy substances and, in fact, is cold welding, characterized by a very high bonding ability. The adhesive hardens instantly, is easy to work with, and therefore ideal as an emergency bonding agent for PVC surfaces.

"Master" - German-made glue, the basis of the composition is the rubbers Desmocoll, is a universal, water-resistant composition. "Master" is equally good at gluing plexiglass, leather, fibrous fabrics, cardboard, rubber, PVC and paper.

Kernil - the composition is very popular among consumers, super strong, reliably glues dissimilar surfaces of products. Reusable adhesive is possible.

"From polyvinyl chloride 900I" - polyurethane adhesive, used for gluing air mattresses and swimming pools, plastic awnings, rubber soles of shoes, balls, PVC fabrics. The glue is highly resistant to gasoline, various oils, acids and water.

Advice! The best glue for a boat is the one that is purchased with it and is in the repair kit. This is due to the fact that it is intended specifically for PVC boats, so there will be no unpleasant surprises after its application.

Key Features

This type of glue is often called liquid rubber, because it is made from natural rubber, a natural resin with powerful adhesive properties. Instead, synthetic resins can be used in the production of substances. The rubber component to obtain glue is diluted in chemical solutions, depending on the brand and the exact type of product, they change. The following may be present as solvents and fillers in rubber glue:

aromatic hydrocarbons;
chlorine-containing compounds;
ethyl acetate mixed with nefras;
polystyrene;
artificial latex;
resin;
metal oxides;
amines;
sulfur;
stabilizers - ethanol, diethylamine.

Mineral oils, phthalates, lanolin, esters of carboxylic acids are added to the composition as plasticizers that improve the properties of the glue. In general, each manufacturer develops its own formulation of rubber glue, reducing or increasing the proportion of natural rubber in it and adding more and more new substances. In any tool, a minimum set of components is necessarily present - a crosslinking agent, a vulcanizing additive and a solvent.

With glue, you can connect a variety of materials, use it for household needs, at a construction site, in repairs. They repair bicycles, rubber boats, leather products at home, use it for shoes, seal holes, and defects. It is also possible to fix linoleum, carpet and other floor coverings with this glue. With some types, it is permissible to work even on glass, tiles, metal. Industrial compounds are used to coat table tennis rackets, textiles (for example, gloves), vacuum products, furniture, car parts.

After hardening, the glue in appearance and properties becomes very similar to rubber. The product can be transparent and opaque, which must be taken into account before buying. It remains elastic even as it cures, for which it is appreciated by craftsmen. There are also disadvantages to rubber adhesives:

not too aesthetic-looking glue seam;
unpleasant odor due to the presence of solvents;
the need for good ventilation due to toxicity;
difficulty in applying;
the appearance of burns on the skin during careless work;
risk of damage to tools after the end of the process or difficulty with their laundering.

Varieties and scopes

Today there are many varieties of funds, each of which has some peculiarities.

Suite

This tool is used to fix polymeric materials. It allows you to attach PVC film, linoleum or tiles. It is permissible to fix these materials on wooden or plastered surfaces. They are also successfully glued to concrete.

H

A characteristic feature of this glue is a high level of adhesion. The substance is suitable for fixing products that are difficult to bond. These include heavy wallpaper and artificial turf. The adhesive is characterized by a high degree of elasticity. Therefore, when the products are deformed, the substance retains its characteristics.

M

This product is characterized by excellent adhesion. They can be used to attach different materials to concrete, wood or brick surfaces. The composition contains components that help the glue to withstand severe frosts.

The substance can be used to fix wallpaper or tiles. Also, the composition is allowed to be used for fixing linoleum. Sometimes craftsmen use this type of Bustilat for priming walls.

Omega

The tool is used for coating surfaces with materials with a textile or felt base. Often, craftsmen use a compound for fixing carpet. It also allows you to glue fabric wallpaper. Bustilate does not get into the structure of the material. Therefore, after the remedy there are no traces.

Such glue is allowed to be used for working with products that differ in paper base. In this case, the substance is not suitable for fixing metal or PVC products.The adhesive may be used for fixing fallen tiles or wooden elements.

D

As a rule, this glue is used to fix polymeric substances on an even surface. The composition is used for fixing vinyl linoleum, which does not have a textile base. Bustilat helps to protect the material from mold or mildew.

At the same time, the adhesive does not have toxic characteristics and does not harm humans.

Universal

This tool is used for fixing heavy wallpaper. It is allowed to be used for all types of tiles or linoleum. With the help of the substance, it is possible to fasten the curbs. In order to achieve the desired level of viscosity, it is recommended to add water to the composition. This should be done just before using the substance.

Adhesives manufacturers

Superglues are produced by almost all well-known manufacturers of such products, both foreign and domestic. The most popular brands are:

"Contact". Superglue plus primer. The tool is sold in a set with a primer, intended for bonding complex and dissimilar materials, including plastics ABS, PP, PE. The primer increases the surface activity of the materials, thereby increasing the adhesion of the superglue. The main composition is applied to the surface after complete evaporation of the primer.
"Super Epoxy Moment". This superglue is two-component and does not include cyanoacrylate; instead, it contains epoxy resin. Both components (resin and hardener) are placed in convenient syringes from which you can squeeze them out in a strictly metered manner. Superglue "Moment" is ideal for bonding porcelain, crystal, wood, clay products, plastic, metal, precious stones.
Super Grip. Another two-component epoxy superglue suitable for metals and alloys, glass and ceramics, decorative and cladding boards. It can be used for industrial purposes. Superglue does not shrink, has low toxicity, it can be used as a putty, sealant.
"Monolith". This is one of the cheapest superglue, while still having decent quality. Most often, the composition is used for repairing shoes, gluing heels, soles. Superglue will reliably bond leather, leatherette, vinyl, plastic and metal, wood and all its derivatives.
"Superglue 505 Universal extra strong". The product hardens in 20 seconds, is absolutely transparent, suitable for all materials except Teflon, Styrofoam, Polypropylene and Polyethylene. The disadvantage of superglue is the stiffness of the glue seam, which does not withstand fracture loads poorly. A kind of agent is "Superglue 502", which is characterized by higher heat resistance.
"Master". This superglue bonds ceramics, porcelain, plastic, metal, leather, rubber, cardboard and wood. It is sold in mini-packs of 3 g, as well as in whole blisters, which contain 12 tubes / 3 g.
"Crocs 301". Universal super glue for all materials, provides a reliable bond for a long time. Seals, fills cracks and chips. Has a very convenient applicator, protected from solidification of the composition in the channel.
"Super Moment Pro". Robust, durable superglue packaged in a reusable bottle with an easy-to-use cap. Resistant to moisture, heat-resistant, suitable for all materials except very soft leather, polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon, silicone rubber. Also superglue of this brand is not used on glazed surfaces.
Loctite. A fast curing compound based on cyanoacrylate with low viscosity. Superglue is suitable for all materials, especially those that are difficult to glue. Its stability is less dependent on air humidity than other adhesives. The downside is the high price.
5 Second Fix. Other names for the glue are plastic-welding, liquid plastic fixer. It has an original design in the form of a pen with a fine tip, which is equipped with a rechargeable battery and an ultraviolet emitter.After applying the product, you need to shine on it for about 5 seconds, which seriously increases the strength of the glue line.
Wurth Klebfix. Structural adhesive for installation and repair, easy to open and close, equipped with anti-spill system. The bottle has a dispenser, and the glue is applied strictly drop by drop. The quality of adhesion with this composition is at the highest level.

III.Remediation of damage

In fact, all types of damage to PVC boats are repaired using one method, with only a slight difference.

Step 1. Stripping

We clean the gluing site from dirt. Some people advise using fine sandpaper for sanding, but this can only damage the surface. Covering the boat with sandpaper wears out just like everything else, which is not exactly what will improve the quality and durability of the boat. So, without special need, you should not resort to such a cardinal method, unless the pollution is very firmly rooted and there is no other way to get rid of them.

Step 2: degrease

For a perfect and strong adhesion, the surface must be degreased. A solvent is ideal for this, you can also use acetone. If there is neither one nor the other, then alcohol will do, but this is only as a last resort. When degreasing a boat, you need to be careful not to overdo it - solvents, although tight, corrode the surface of the boat. Therefore, everything should be in moderation.

Step 3. Preparation

· Cut out the patch. It should be a couple of centimeters larger than the hole.

· We apply it to the damage and outline the contours with a pencil.

· Lubricate the patch itself and the place of gluing on the boat with glue.

Let the glue dry for 10 minutes.

· Then again apply a layer of glue to the patch and the surface of the boat.

· We are waiting for a few minutes. The glue should dry a little, but set.

Step 4. Bonding

· Using a hair dryer, heat both surfaces, greased with glue. You need to do this quickly so that the surface heats up, but the glue does not dry.

We apply the patch to the surface, making sure that it lies strictly along its contours drawn and smeared with glue, as well as that there is no air between the surfaces to be glued.

· Thoroughly roll the place of gluing with a hard roller or some similar object so that the surfaces adhere well.

· We send the boat to dry for 2-3 days.

Minor scratches which only exposed the material, it is enough just to fill it with glue. But you can, for greater confidence, put a patch.

In case of damage more than 5 cm two patches are put. One outside, one inside. First you need to glue the one that will be inside, then the outer one.

Damage exceeding 15 cm should be eliminated by specialists, it is difficult to do it yourself. And the repair kit is not designed for such serious holes - there will not be enough material.

Instructions for use

To properly use the polyurethane adhesive, you need to read the instructions for use at home and in businesses.

In production

Adhesives made on the basis of polyurethane are often used in industrial production and the construction sector. Quite often they are used as a joint sealant between concrete slabs or sheet sheathing.

Before applying the glue, the surface is thoroughly cleaned of debris and dirt. It is also dried so that the coating is perfectly dry, since assembly glue cannot be applied to a damp base. When working with concrete materials, you will have to prime them with special primers and only then use polyurethane glue.

At home

In everyday life, a polyurethane adhesive mixture can be used for:

Carrying out repair work. Quite often they are used to fix finishing materials. Also, such glue, like polyurethane foam, is used to seal seams.
Shoe repair.This composition is suitable for rubber, leather and other materials from which shoes are often made.
Furniture repair. Polyurethane adhesives are suitable for gluing wood and are therefore used for furniture repairs.

When using glue, perform the following sequence of actions:

Preparation of the treated coating. The surface is washed, dried, sanded and degreased.
Application of the mixture. It is applied evenly and spread over the entire surface. This must be done very quickly, as it begins to harden within 10-15 minutes.
Removing glue residues. All excess composition must be carefully wiped off with an alcohol-based cloth.

Manufacturers of rubber adhesives

A popular glue is "Moment-1" - a quick-drying compound that is ideal for rubber, wood, metal, plastic, glass. It can be applied in a very thin layer, so consumption will be minimal. You need to press the surfaces together for only 15 seconds, and then you need to leave the parts until completely dry.

Other examples of famous brands of rubber adhesives:

Glue 88 N. Has the consistency of sour cream, easily diluted with benzene. It is recommended to dry the first layer of the product for 5-6 minutes, then apply the second one and put the product under the press.
Glue 88 CA. As a base, it includes rubber and artificial resins, diluted with nefras and ethyl acetate. Designed for gluing glass, wood, concrete, rubber, polystyrene, foam rubber.
Glue 4508. Super moisture resistant agent, elastic, has high stickiness. It is used in the production of textiles, special suits, rubberized fabrics. Adheres well to boats and other PVC products.
"Radical". This composition is especially appreciated by fishermen: due to its ability to withstand heavy loads, the effect of water and freezing temperatures, it can be used in boat repairs. The product is not even afraid of sea water.
"Gum". This glue is most often used in the repair of leather goods, shoes, car and bicycle cameras.
Plasti Dip. It is a paint with the addition of rubber, which is applied to car parts to optimize the appearance and enhance the protective properties.

Rubber adhesives allow you to reliably bond products made of many materials, they are literally absorbed into the surface, and the resulting seam does not collapse for many years. The cost of adhesives is low, repairs will not be expensive, which only increases their demand.

How to glue correctly

Despite the fact that gluing plywood does not cause any particular difficulties, when performing such work, the following rules must be observed:

before starting installation, it is recommended to clean the work surface from dust, dirt and grease;
if plywood is glued to concrete on a water-dispersible composition, then the surface is pre-primed (including with the help of glue);
glue the material on epoxy resin in a ventilated area;
do not use PVA glue outside the premises;
after applying the aqueous composition to the surface, the plywood sheets must be temporarily fixed with self-tapping screws, since such adhesives harden within 2-3 days.

As noted, laminated surfaces must be sanded with sandpaper before starting work. This helps to increase the level of adhesion of the material to the surface.

Gluing sheets

To glue plywood sheets, you will need:

Align the planes that will be glued together.
Apply the adhesive to the work surface, following the attached instructions.
Having withstood the required time (indicated in the instructions), connect the sheets together.
Fix the plywood sheets by means of clamps and wait until the composition has completely solidified.

At the end of the work, you need to remove the excess glue with a rag. If it is necessary to connect two thin sheets together, then after the described manipulations, a strip of veneer must be applied on both sides of the seam.

Splice

Plywood sheets are glued together at the joint and mustache.Applying the first fixing option, you need to do the following:

Align and sand the ends of the sheets.
Degrease the work surface using alcohol or other similar solvents.
Apply glue to the prepared surface and press the sheets tightly together.
Apply glue to the seam to be created and lay the fiberglass of the desired size.
Roll over fiberglass.
Wait until it is completely dry and remove excess material.

Miter gluing is performed according to the following algorithm:

Place the plywood sheets on top of each other.
Use a jointer to process the ends and form a mustache 12 times the thickness of one plywood sheet.
Grind each mustache with a grinder.
Apply glue and press the fragments back down.
Pinch the sheets and wait until they dry completely.

At the end of the described manipulations, it is recommended not only to remove excess glue, but also to grind the seam.

Alternative ways

Often tenon joints are used to glue thick plywood. In this case, protrusions and recesses of the same shape and size are cut out at the end of each sheet. Then glue is applied to these parts, and the plywood is joined together.

This method allows you to achieve a stronger seam than described above. This is due to the fact that, thanks to the spikes, the contact area of the materials increases.
