North Water Vinyl Tec Adhesive

Good outfitting starts with a bond you can trust, and Vinyl-Tec is the adhesive North Water specifies for a reason.

This one-step industrial strength adhesive creates a permanent chemical bond between vinyl anchors and your hull, no mixing, no mess, and no rushing through a short open time. It gives you plenty of working time to position anchors accurately before it sets, then dries clear so your outfitting looks clean and intentional. Beyond anchor installation, it's a reliable choice for vinyl airbag and raft repairs, making it a useful addition to any paddler's maintenance kit.

Compatible with Royalex, R-Light (1996 and newer), Kevlar, and fibreglass hulls, it covers the majority of canoes and kayaks paddlers are running across Canada. Coverage runs approximately 2,000 cm2 per 100ml, which works out to roughly 18 small anchors like 1" D-Ring or Lightweight Anchors, or around 10 larger anchors like the 1" Cam Buckle or 2" D-Ring models. Vinyl loop patches run approximately 28 per 100ml. Coverage will vary depending on application method and substrate.
