Vinyl for Inflatable boats??
Hi All,
we have always used cast vinyl for boats whether they are fiberglass or wood or rubber inflatables. We have had a customer come in today and he doesn’t want the same vinyl for fiberglass and his dinghy, he doesn’t know the name of the vinyl? Does anyone have any polite suggestions of which vinyl he might be talking about??cheers

Hi Dan
I have used banner vinyl (oracal451) for this purpose as its more conformable than cast when cold and designed for curtain sided vehicles etc so probably closest for this type of use?

451 is a banner vinyl Colin, I wouldn’t put it on a truck mate.
your correct its a softer vinyl and will do a much better job than a cast, but i doubt its life will be long on the likes of an inflatable due to being inflated, deflated, inflated etc i would imagine the first signs of damage would be adhesive residue showing around the letters, if not wrinkles etc forming.Truck curtain vinyl is very different to banner vinyl. thinner and a much higher initial tack. more expensive also.
