Set: Daiichiseiko Uketaro GB + Kleber Kit - Inflatable boat rod holders for anglers

Rod holder Uketaro GB

The Uketaro GB rod holder is the light version of the Chibi Lark GB. For the rod holder, which is a bit more expensive to produce, a simpler variant was devised, which does not have an adapter and therefore no lightning plug-in function on the holder. Just like its "big brother", this rod holder made in Japan has been designed according to the highest quality standards, especially for inflatable boats, is suitable for hose diameters of 25 - 48 cm and a maximum rod thickness of 25 mm. In addition, the inclination of the rod holder can be continuously adjusted in order to achieve an optimal trolling position. In addition, the rod holder can be rotated 25° or 50° to the left or right.
The light variant also requires a PVC block that is glued to the outer skin of the boat and fixed with a special pin.

Adhesive kit for PVC inflatable boats

Do you have an inflatable boat and want to equip it with accessories such as handles or rod holders? With our workshop adhesive, you can attach the desired accessories in no time at all, conveniently and free of charge from home. Whether rod holders, oarlocks, echo sounder mounts, RibPort or D-rings. Any PVC accessory can be glued to the PVC boat skin with this glue.
The Bengar glue is also ideal for repairs on the inflatable boat. Wooden elements such as transoms can also be glued to the PVC boat skin with this adhesive.
In addition, the Bengar adhesive was specially made for the outer skin of inflatable boats made of PVC (Strongan, Hypertex, Synotex, etc...). We even build our own inflatables using the exact same glue and process!

gluing instructions

In these instructions we will explain how you can use our Bengar Glue Kit to mount various accessories on your inflatable boat. The kit includes workshop glue, glue thinner, insulating tape and a brush. You will also need a hot air gun and a removable pen.

Step 1: Mark and mask off

First hold the part to be glued to the desired position on your inflatable boat and mark it with a water-soluble pen. Then tape the marked areas with the insulating tape. Make sure that the area to be glued is 0.3 - 0.5 cm larger than it actually is. Now clean and dry the surfaces to be glued. The areas marked with the pen must also be removed.

Step 2: Prepare and apply the glue

First, open the PVC assembly adhesive with a slotted screwdriver. If the adhesive becomes viscous, the enclosed thinner for the PVC assembly adhesive will help you to thin the adhesive. The adhesive mass should be thinned to such an extent that the adhesive can be applied evenly to the bonding surfaces. The glue evaporates quickly, so keep diluting it. Apply a first layer of glue to both surfaces with the brush. It is best to brush the brush from the inside to the outside so that the edges are also cleanly applied with the glue. Now let it harden for 15 to 20 minutes. The brush should always be stored in the glue or thinner to prevent the brush from hardening. Don't leave the glue or thinner lying around open. This must also be closed during short breaks. Next, apply a second coat of glue to both sides and immediately remove the electrical tape. Now let it dry for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Heating and Gluing

Blow dry both areas with a heat gun on the hottest setting for about 30 seconds. Never leave in one place for too long, otherwise the material would burn. It is best to keep the hot air gun moving at all times. You can also heat it up with a hair dryer, but you should make sure that both areas are warm enough. If the bodies are contacted now, it sticks immediately. Therefore, make sure that glue has been applied to both sides. If only one side has glue on it, it won't stick at all. That's why we taped 0.3 - 0.5 cm larger at the beginning. After gluing, you should roll over the spot with a roller or a glass bottle to bond it firmly to the substrate. Air bubbles are avoided with a roller or bottle.

Step 4: drying phase

Now the areas should rest for a day or two so that the glue can harden. Leave the spot smooth and level. If the inflatable boat is rolled up, there is a risk that the glued accessories will harden in a kinked position.
