I am sure this is on here (somewhere?) but its easier to ask again. I have a Goplus 7.5' inflatable that is PVC. the tape (not sure what else to call it) at the back where the floor meets the transom is lifting in one spot ever so slightly, no water coming in but i want to fix before any worse. Anyone know what glue i should use for this application?

West marine has $37 glue for PVC in the dinghy section.....it's in a tiny tube and in a really nice box.

Defender might have some too.

A tip: don’t use the glue near the water, when it’s raining, or humid. It is very moisture sensitive and doesn’t bond well in humid conditions.
 
Stabond is probably the strongest, but also the most expensive. If it’s a small spot like you describe the adhesive in the included patch kit might do the trick. (If you still have it) I had a pinhole leak over the weekend that I patched with the 1 part glue and it held fine
 
i do have the included patch kit glue, but thought i would save it in case i never needed to apply an actual patch. i will wait for a couple of REALLY hot days with it out in the sun uncovered so it gets good and hot and dry before applying, thanx for the tips.
