Protective strip for inflatable boat black flexible 100mm

PVC Protective Strip Black 100mm For Inflatable Boat

The price  is given for 1 linear meter  of the skirting board.

To buy, for example, 10m of strips, you need to choose 10 pcs. We will ship 10 meters in 1 piece. The maximum can be 30m in one piece

Protective strip for pontoon 100 mm. We offer you an original protective strip for pontoons and kayaks.

Polish product

This strip is designed to strengthen the bottom and sides of a dinghy or kayak and guarantees safety when using equipment on rivers and reservoirs with a rocky bank or bottom, or with a large number of branches in the water. Reinforcement of the bottom of the dinghy increases resistance to damage by up to 300%. The skirting board is made of flexible material and is very easy to stick even for a person who has never done it. How to stick a strip on a pontoon - just type it on YouTube and our video instructions will immediately pop up.

REMARK! THE STRIP CUT BY THE METER IS NOT RETURNABLE!

To glue these skirting boards, we recommend using PU312 glue, which can be purchased at our auctions.

The efficiency of the adhesive should be calculated from the account: 50ml of glue / 1 linear meter of the strip.

Instructions for sticking the PVC protective strip to the bottom of the pontoon

Gluing a protective strip is a task that even a beginner can handle. All you need to do is read this manual carefully and to be more sure – watch our YouTube video.

Materials and tools:

• Protective strip – the length depends on the edgebanding surface

• To stick three protective strips to the most exposed areas (keel zone, left and right balloon) you need 10-12 meters.

• To fully wrap the pontoon (3 m), you need about 25 meters of 110 mm wide slat.

• PU-312 glue: - in the amount of 50 grams per 1 meter - per 10 meters - 1 large can of glue - for full wrapping - 3 large cans of glue

• Brushes – painting, good quality (no bristle loss)

• Surface cleaner and degreaser.

• Painter's tape – good quality, it should stick well during heating, it should not leave traces of glue on the pontoon.

• Pressure roller – for sticking

• Spatulas – for spot pressing

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Surface preparation. Clean and degrease the surface of the pontoon with acetone. This will ensure good adhesion of the adhesive.
2. Designation of gluing points. Use painter's tape to mark the strip lines. Make sure the tape adheres well and leaves no adhesive residue.
3. Preparation of the protective strip. Determine where the strips will be placed and cut the fabric to the desired length.
4. Applying glue. For the best effect, it is recommended to apply the adhesive in two layers. First, apply the first thin layer of PU-312 glue to both surfaces (pontoon and the inside of the skirting board) and let it dry for 10-15 minutes. Then apply a second coat of glue and let it dry again for 10-15 minutes. This process allows the acetone to evaporate completely, which increases the thermal resistance of the adhesive. If aсеton does not evaporate, the adhesive may lose its adhesion at high temperatures (aсеton evaporates at 55 °C), which can lead to peeling of elements.
5. Thermal activation of the adhesive. Only perform thermal activation after the adhesive has completely dried on both surfaces. Heat the adhesive to 60-70 °C, heating the surfaces on the adhesive side. You can use an industrial heat gun or a regular hair dryer for this. If you are using a dryer, keep it closer to the surface and heat it a little longer – you will also achieve the desired effect.
6. Gluing the strip. Place the heated protective strip on the surface of the pontoon. Use a pressure roller to press the bar down thoroughly and remove any air bubbles. For harder-to-reach places, you can use a spatula.
7. Curing of the adhesive. Allow the adhesive to cure completely for 24 hours.
