Vinyl Hull Graphics Starting to Peel

[Butch Davis]

A small corner of my hull graphics has lifted. It no longer has any adhesive quality.

I'd like to stop this before it becomes worse and I have to then replace the graphic.

What adhesive should I use to reapply the graphic corner to the hull? Is there any procedure I should follow to ensure success?

Your advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Depending on the color, you can cut the small piece out with a razor blade and replace it with a cut to fit piece of tape from a boat store. I used to do this with boot stripes that were forever being dinged by stuff in the water. Any thing the size of a dime was pretty much invisible to the eye when the boat was in the water. Make sure you stay within the margins of the graphic because the razor cut should end at the graphic so you don't see it.

sometimes heating with a heatgun will give it enough stick
sbw has a good solution too
i have seen others use clear nailpolish (clearcoat???) to stick it back down

Thanks, Mike & sbw. I think I'll try the clear nail polish first. If that's not successful I'll use the new tape trick.
