Does this patch work for underwater repairs? i.e. hull of an inflatable boat?

It did not even seal my air-mattress for more than a week! It now up to you to make your choice.

It's the same as a patch with glue but much faster and seals better. I used it on a Sevylor raft and I would buy this product again when it runs out. It will seal a hole that is under the water line but I don't think it can be applied to a wet raft. I have had no problems with the raft or the patch coming off. It is leaps and bounds better than glue.

It would not take the place of fiberglass but if you have small places that are leaking it would seal it. My boat is still leak after three years.

Linda this very well at repairing every kind of project I have ever needed it for. I know a buddy of mine used it four holes in a boat and it held perfectly fine and he fishes in it everyday. in regards tell your staff to you I have no way of saying it will for sure work but I sure do not see why it would not. this I can guarantee about the product, if it will not work for the you are asking about you will definitely find a use for it

I would give it a try. I used it successfully underwater to repair a large crack. Under water it acts a lot like drywall mud. I used a small taping knife to apply and worked it into the concrete. The product did shrink a little when it cured.

Worked for me..... read all the instructions.. if it is a small hole or tear glue it shut first ...wait until next day then apply the patch over the entire surface and let it cure a day or so or longer... still working and holding air as normal after several fills. fixed several months ago ..still holding after several fills....used on an air mattress only...

It should, but be informed that these patches are lightweight / thin and are really only meant for a pool liner and not an above ground pool material.

I made a marine tex patch to repair a crack in the deck of my sailboat, then painted 2 coats of this paint over it. It stuck to the marine tex as well as it did to the other fiberglass surfaces I painted. No problem.

I doubt it. The patch comes in a fairly large piece (4 x 6) if memory serves me right. It is rather difficult to cut. It would also probably look like a patch on the boot, if that is not an issue, you could try. It also doubt it would stand up to water, scuffing etc. as it is a patch and sits above the rest of the item. It would be subject to getting caught and peeled off.

The area you are trying to patch MUST NOT be sagging or loose...depending on where the repair is needed. My first attempt was to repair a tear in the top of a boat cover - no luck because the surface wasn't flat, so I rigged a support board underneath, from inside the boat, then I was able to have a flat, sturdy surface to work with, and it held very well.

Absolutely! I used in on the bottom of my kayak, which had two sizeable fractures in the hull.

I used it on my 20 foot StarCraft to seal two rivets near the bow and two rows from the keel, the only way to get at them was from the outside of the hull, as the boat is finished inside, ahead of the walkthrough windshield. I had two rivets which were leaking and investigated how to solve my problem, and Gluvit worked for me, I did apply three coats and let each cure over a period of about a week before I put the boat in the water. I did not put primer or anything else over epoxy and it has sealed my boat for 3 yrs and counting.

This worked good underwater. For small holes in the bottom of our 4 FT deep above ground pool, its not easy because you need goggles and have to exhale to stay down for that few seconds to apply the patch. Just smudge some on your patch before going under (whole patch) then take it down quick, apply over the hole and then press down with your foot for a couple minutes.

The product info says you can. My pool leaked on a corner seam about 8 inches up from the bottom on a 54" deep soft side. I used goggles and hung up side down to attempt this patch. As soon as the patch covered with glue hit the water it rolled tight like a pencil. My second attempt I was able to keep the patch from rolling but getting to the bottom of the pool without hands proved a challenge. I had my wife hold me under and got it in place. The leak slowed but did not stop. It was near season end so drained the pool and patched both inside and out before putting it away for winter. Come spring we bought a new soft side ultra frame and gave the old one away. I was told that patch did work. The product info says you can.

I don't know - we used the patch on our tarp cover & while it was touching the pool water all winter (& held up), we applied it to a dry tarp, not underwater.

I have only used it on a dry surface, but in the comment section, I saw a this: By CaptJack on January 14, 2013 Verified PurchaseThis stuff has been around for years....... and it works. I keep a kit on the boat. Weather the white or the gray it will always stick and harden. I have used it under water and on water jackets with 100% confidence. Once hardened you can file it and even drill and tap it. For emergency repairs and long term renovations I trust it.

Can cut the size patch you need. We only needed about a 4" square. Make sure you round the corners off for secure sticking. We fixed the liner in our above ground pool with the water still in it. It worked great and it's still holding. Can be used on a number of other items such as balls, swim toys etc. Basically anything that requires vinyl patch.
