Comments about West Marine Liquid Rubber:
The previous west marine product was good and bonded well. It was waterborne acrylic. Applied well and bonded.
The current product is thick and when thined with the recommended thinner took 3 weeks to dry and then peeled off.

Comments about West Marine Liquid Rubber:
I just finished using this product and it's been on the dinghy for less than a week--so keep that in mind when considering my review. The product is tough to work with--it's very thick and does not spread well with either a brush or roller--maybe a squeegee would help if we were to try again. Our fabric (hypalon) was in bad shape with a lot of fabric showing--the good news is that it seems to have bonded well to that surface. We were careful to "feather" the edges into the tubes to avoid edges that might contribute to peeling. It looks decent considering what we started with. If we get another couple seasons out of our old dinghy, we'll be pleased with the product. Remains to be seen how it holds up, but so far, so good.

Comments about West Marine Liquid Rubber:
I applied this to my PVC tender as directed in the instructions. I sanded the bottom with 60 grit sand paper and then applied MEK to clean it. I mixed the rubber and catalist for 10 minutes with a drill and mixing paddle and let sit for 1 hour. I then applied with a brush. After 7 days in a heated garage at 75 degrees I tested to see how it was doing. Well it was a complete waste of time as the rubber would pull off in sheets with absolutely no bonding at all. This product is junk and I would not recommend it at all. I did not contact West Marine to get my $$ back as I figure it was a learning lesson and not their fault Inland Marine makes a bad product. Live and learn!!

Comments about West Marine Liquid Rubber:
The product adheres well as advertised. It doesn't go very far though. It can supposedly cover 50 sq.ft., but I doubt it does more than perhaps about half that. It applies like honey and is difficult to work with. I am very displeased with the product, especially after paying the cost.
