Evercoat Vinyl, Leather & Nylon Repair Kits
Evercoat Repair Kits for Vinyl, Leather & Nylon
When a puncture, tear, or cut threatens the integrity of your inflatable craft, the right repair kit makes all the difference. Evercoat — a brand with roots going back to 1953 — brings that same chemistry-driven expertise to its vinyl, leather & nylon repair kits, offering solutions engineered to hold up under real-world conditions on the water and beyond.
The Evercoat Inflatable Repair Kit
Evercoat's flagship product in this category is the Inflatable Repair Kit (Item #100618), purpose-built for boaters and outdoor enthusiasts who depend on inflatable craft. The kit is formulated to repair nylon, hypalon, and neoprene — three of the most common materials found in marine inflatables — using a tough synthetic rubber contact adhesive that creates a resilient, long-lasting bond.
What sets this kit apart is the comprehensiveness of what's included. Each kit comes with a 1 oz tube of cleaning solvent, a 1 oz tube of contact cement, and a generous 6" x 12" sheet of heavy reinforcing fabric. That fabric patch is key: it doesn't just seal a leak, it reinforces the damaged area to resist future cuts, cracks, and impact stress. Once cured, the repair helps preserve buoyancy and structural integrity — critical concerns for anyone relying on a dinghy, sport boat, or life raft.
Why Evercoat Stands Behind This Product
Evercoat, now part of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), has spent decades developing repair chemistries for the automotive and marine industries. That institutional knowledge in bonding and adhesion transfers directly to inflatable repair. The brand's commitment to quality formulations — many of which are patented across their broader product line — means you can trust that the adhesive in this kit is engineered for durability, not just a quick fix.
The kit is conveniently packaged in a resealable plastic bag, making it practical to keep aboard your vessel for on-the-spot repairs. It is worth noting that this kit is not recommended for PVC repairs — it is specifically optimized for nylon, hypalon, and neoprene fabrics. Always confirm your inflatable's material before applying.
Who Should Use This Kit?
- Owners of inflatable dinghies, sport boats, or rafts made from nylon, hypalon, or neoprene
- Boaters who want a compact, all-in-one repair solution to keep on board
- Outdoor enthusiasts using inflatable kayaks or rescue craft built from compatible materials
- Anyone looking for a proven marine-grade adhesive from a brand with a long track record in surface repair
