Home Improvement Asked on December 20, 2020
I have some of these inflatable kids rubber rings, toys etc, I presume made of PVC, with little holes in them here and there, leaking air
some rips are close to the seam so I cannot put on a sticky patch. I think it is possible to put a "glue" on top of the little hole to seal it (without a patch). I read about MEK glues, but MEK is a solvent right? How can it glue anything?
What kind of glue would you recommend for this kind of repair? Must be
Another concern is the cost; these toys cost $5 or less so I don’t want a glue that costs more than the toy! I would also prefer something that lasts for a few months once opened.
thank you for your recommendations

PS. would plain superglue work on a small hole without a patch?
These are made from vinyl but not PVC. Same base chemical but different materials and different chemistry.
Go to any pool or outdoor water sports supply store and they will have inflatable vinyl repair kits with appropriate glue and patches.
No, cyanoacrylate adhesives (i.e. super-glue) will not hold well here.
