Giving life to an Old RIB.
We thought we save the appearance of an 25 year old RIB using Flexithane Hypalon paint. It's been pretty well talked about online and seems a good alternative to replacing the tubes in the short term.
It's not cheap at £55.00 per half litre but we thought we'd try it out.
We raised all the money through fundraising and donations. This paint was paid for by the Putney Public. We spent a saturday rattling our cans and put our boats on display at Putney St. Mary's Church. Thank you to the team there who support us very kindly.
Here's what we found after the first coat.

Would have liked to see how you repaired those patches where you could see the hypalon threads!

I've some photos so I can make a small video for it. Effectively, you make the patches with shapes and fit them toghether. Again we had rpo advice on this and the result is superb.

Hi very nice job it inspired me to start my own restoration. Question. How deep should I sand in the beginning? Do you have a picture or something?

Thank you for your question, this and the one below are inspiring me to make a video of the earlier sections of sanding and prepping. In answer, we went over with a circular sander and then by hand with a 200 to give the sponsons enough grip for the paint. We found that any areas we skipped at all, immediately peeled. When sanding, it has to be complete, every mm has to be rough or the paint peels. If you look at Part 5 you'll see where we missed the port quarter and ot just peeled. Also, make sure that you remove any masking tape as soon as you can. Once the first coat is on, use a 800-1200 to get another surface for it to grab to and it sits well, covering up all the scratches. Repeat... We did about 5 layers of white all in with a fine sanding inbetween for that extra stick. It may have been overkill but she is holding well, the paint isn't too bad albeit dirty and we are rbinging her ashore for another coat as we wanted to see how this paint would last a season.
