Hello, I purchased an inflatable i11s kayak thinking I could repair the blows out seam. After several tries, I don' t think it is possible, so I have two ideas:
Plan A. If I can remove the yellow sides that are glued to the main section, I have a serviceable SUP. The part that ripped was the seam of one of those but the main chamber is solid. My question is if there is a good and safe way to remove the outer channels without damaging everything else. I could cut the panels off as close to the glued parts as possible, but will probably look crappy, and a heat gun/hairdryer seems like it might risk damaging the other seams if it would even work. So, I am wondering if there is a solvent or other method to "unglue" the side panels from the main chamber . Plan B. Offer it up for parts. It didn't have the easily removable parts (seat, mirage drive, paddle, etc) so I am not sure any one wants something that has to be cut off from the main board, but if that market exists I would rather do that than the landfill, which would be Plan C.
