Gear Aid Tear-Aid Patch
Best durable repair solution for vinyl inflatables and outdoor gear.
This is the definitive fix for vinyl and PVC gear, specifically formulated to handle the oily surfaces that cause standard tapes to peel. It creates a nearly invisible, bombproof seal that stays flexible and UV-resistant, though you’ll need to be precise with your application since this adhesive is permanent.
