When it comes to the marina, one would think that waterproofing would be a simple task. However, it’s harder to maintain a waterproof surface than you may think! Between chemicals in the water, salt levels, rough riptides, and marine life damage, keeping your boat in ship-shape can seem downright impossible. Tie in sun damage to your boat’s enclosures or fabric tops and you’re looking at a whole new world of problems.

Fortunately, Chemical Concepts recognizes the importance of adequately waterproofing your boat the first time around to avoid problems down the line. Our acrylic adhesives, cyanoacrylates, sealants, spray adhesives, and more are here to seal your boat against the treacherous waters you’ll encounter.

H2O Glue AquaBonder Underwater Adhesive

When it comes to underwater adhesives, none can compare to our H20 Glue AquaBonder Underwater Adhesive. This toughened structural adhesive is specifically designed to withstand outdoor weathering or solvent exposure; it bonds beautifully to PVC, fiberglass, ABS, epoxy, RIM urethane, wood, poorly prepared surfaces, and a variety of other marine-prone surfaces. This adhesive is ideal for any part of your boat, not just the hull.

Chem-Set 797 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive

When your canvas enclosure has seen better days, trust Chem-Set 797 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive to fill in the gaps and keep you comfortable all summer long. Cyanoacrylates are known for their superior impact strength and rapid bonding at room temperature, making them ideal for quick fixes while you’re out and about on the water. It also adheres well to steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, plastics, and elastomers, making it a handy adhesive to keep for minor fixes to any part of your boat.

H20 Glue Sticky Stuff

While our H20 Glue Sticky Stuff bulk canister has received its highest praise in installing vinyl pool liners, that doesn’t discount its incredible marine-worthy properties! Its waterproof adhesion ensures that no leakage will occur, even in the harshest conditions. The convenient spray design is ideal in covering a large surface area (namely, a boat’s hull) in no time at all. Just don’t forget the hose and gun attachments for easy application and lasting results!

Chem-Set HM612 High Strength Glue Sticks

These hot melts feature instant tack and a 5-minute cure time, plus superior cold/heat resistance of -5˚F / 135˚F.
