Does anyone have suggestions for what kind of glue to use to re-attach 
the valves on an inflatable paddlefloat?

Both valves are coming un-attached and are leaking.  I figured I'd try
some repairs before just getting a new paddlefloat.  The valves attach on 
the inside of the float, but I guess getting the glue into the right spot 
shouldn't be too hard, if I have the right kind of glue.

Suggestions?

I have used aquaseal with very good success. Just spread the aquaseal glue
around the valve and, if you want, use a q-tip to push a little bit
between the valve and the fabric.

I have had some success in repairing small wears and tears with a glue called "Aquasure". It is intended to fix neoprene wetsuits, but seems to fit other uses too, fixed old rubber boots with it. It created nice elastic rubberlike seam. Ask from the local scuba gear shop and don't inhale the vapors.

regards, Jukka
