hi,
its an inflatable bladder for a canoe.
thanks
A.
Not on a bladder like that, but on my son's inflatable tackle bag, i had some success gluing a split seam by folding the seam over the top of the split and gluing that down with loads of clamping force.i agree the patch will not work. the canoe is discontinued hence cannot obtain a replacement easily.
Look at a site where the describe the process of vacuum bag veneering, such as Joe Woodworker and you'll find details of how to make your own vacuum bags, which are fundamentally the same sort of thing ,that you need. You should be able to make your own.
PS Neoprene glue (for rubber, etc) is even available from Amazon
Was that for veneer pressing? Frankly on slab doors I'd have gone for a glue film and simply ironed the veneer on, or alternatively spray contact adhesive. Both a lot faster with good results when done competently, especially if you lip your MDF blanks with hardwood firstFrom memory, given that I was using PVA glue, I waited about 3 hours, per door, if I were to do it again, I might use polyurethane glue and reduce the vacuum press time.
