Repairing your inflatable boat now as easy as painting ... using Tuff-Coat's Inflatable Boat Repair Kit

Fast, easy and inexpensive solution renews, restores and protects inflatables with two-stage synthetic rubber coating

Getting ready for boating season? Don't forget to check your inflatable boat! Too often invisible sun-damage or harsh winter weather can create pinholes and cracks that make even the best inflatables unsafe and unusable. But before you throw that expensive inflatable boat away, there is a fast, easy and inexpensive solution to repairing almost any surface damage through www.Tuff-Coat.com. Tuff-Coat's Inflatable Boat Repair Kit is a two-stage synthetic rubber coating that fixes pinhole leaks, worn fabric, UV damage and even leaky seams. Michael Fry, an avid boater, invented the waterproof, durable protective paint. His revolutionary product has made thousands of inflatable boats around the world shine like new again! Better still, Fry states, "You don’t need to be a professional to apply this product. It goes on like paint, so now anyone can expertly repair an inflatable boat." That's right, if you can paint, you can fix your inflatable for under $200! It's that easy and inexpensive. Fry invented Tuff-Coat's Inflatable Boat Repair Kit when he saw a damaged inflatable, discarded by its owner on the dock where Fry moors his own 48-foot Grand Banks cabin cruiser. "It caught my eye. I wondered why its owner hadn’t repaired it?" A little research by Fry dug up the answer. "There wasn’t a product good enough to make it worthwhile to fix the boat. It was too much hassle, and the results just weren’t that good." That was the just challenge the triple-threat entrepreneur, inventor and boater needed as motivation to create the solution. "So I went to see a friend of mine, a very good chemist who I’d worked with on a previous successful venture," says Fry. "It didn’t take too much consultation to come up with the solution - a marvelous product called SRC-TUFFCOAT. This revolutionary synthetic rubber coating (SRC) now has boaters everywhere repairing their damaged inflatable boats and getting them back into the water." Thousands of satisfied customers agree. Testimonials on Fry's website www.Tuff-Coat.com attest to the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of Tuff-Coat's Inflatable Boat Repair Kit. The manager of the Inflatable Repair Depot in Vancouver, Canada writes: "Over the years I have restored more than 1000 inflatable boats and have used every product available both commercially and from industrial supply. Nothing has come close to the Tuff Coat system for ease of use, product durability or value. It is the only thing I now use to restore PVC and Hypalon inflatable boats." Each repair kit contains two one-quart cans of bottomcoat and topcoat, which is enough to do an eight-foot dinghy. The topcoat even comes in five colors: gray, white, red, black and orange. A bigger inflatable obviously requires additional coverage, but the cost-savings created by restoring, renewing and protecting your investment certainly outweigh the money a boater would pay replacing that same inflatable. "You will spend hundreds instead of thousands of dollars," notes Fry. Tuff-Coat's Inflatable Boat Repair Kit has done wonders on Avon, Bombard, Caribe, Quicksilver, Zodiac, SeaEagle and many other inflatable boats. It also works well with both Hypalon and PVC surfaces. If you still have a hard time picturing your own boat's repairs, you can find detailed restoration projects and step-by-step photo essays at www.Tuff-Coat.com.
