One of my boards feel off my rack this weekend, and the fin from the board put a little puncture hole in one of the seats. Is there anything I can use to put on the hole to seal or protect so it does not get larger? It is a small hole probably about 1/2 of an inch, but I am concerned it will tear and get bigger.

I'm interested in this too. Anyone?

Yep, use a toothpick and dab on some regular ol' super glue. This will seal it up just fine. This method is used extensively in the vinyl industry, I didn't make it up.

Ask your dealer or local dealer. They will have someone they use in situations like this. 100 to 150 will fix it.

Use VLP Liquid Vinyl Patch <BR><a href="http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=288" target="_blank">http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=288</a> <BR> <BR>The 3rd time i took my new boat out this year I put 2 holds in the drivers seat. My father in law is in upholstery and said it was the best. Fills the holes so its water tight. It worked great.

There are people who do this kind of repair all-day-long. When they get done you can't tell the difference. Probably cost you $100. Car dealerships use these guys all the time, call a dealership and ask who they use for vinyl/leather repair.

Tear-Aid. It is a clear vinyl type tape. In Canada... Nautic Distributors sells it. If you want a small piece... email me your address and I will drop a piece in the mail for you... if I can find my stash...
