I have a very small hole in one of the tubes at the front of my Inflatable Dinghy that I've tried to repair a couple of times, but it is still leaking, so I need to have it repaired professionally, does anyone know anyone that can repair it within a 25 mile radius Portsmouth
 
I'm not sure how you've tryed to repair but this is the way I've done it and works.

Prepare the hole by sanding it so it's a little rough around 3 inches diameter around said hole. Clean up with acetone / meth

Cut a patch and sand the side your sticking down, again clean with acetone / meth.

The hole, one on the sib, apply the glue that came with sib, spread evenly and allow to get tacky ( approx 3 to 5 mins) do this for 3 times intotal.

When your on your 3rd time apply same glue onto your patch and place over the puncture site. Use a credit card or a roller of some sort and do your best to squeeze out any air bubbles. Lightly clean excess glue from around the side of patch and stick something heavy on it and leave for 12 hours.

Leave 24 hours before pumping up to full pressure.

Hope this helps
