What we liked
- + Peel-and-stick patches need no glue or cure time, so a hole can be covered at the shoreline.
- + Kit includes a 3 x 12 inch patch, two smaller patches, a reinforcement filament and two alcohol prep pads for cleaning the spot.
- + Type B is made for vinyl-coated materials such as towable tubes, rafts and air mattresses, which covers most inflatable hulls.
Trade-offs
- - Type B is for vinyl and PVC-type surfaces, so it is not the right choice for rotomolded polyethylene kayak hulls.
- - One kit has only three patches, which is enough for a few small repairs but not a large tear.
