I treated my old Novurania RIB with Tuff-coat. It is a good product, although one of the cans of base coat I received (ordered from Defender) was basically useless. I am guessing it was old stock - I ought to have returned it but shipping the stuff is a hassle.

I sold the RIB to a guy who intended to give the seams a better prep than I did. I thought I had prepared reasonably well but still had a couple of slow leaks. I believe that with better prep, and not having to contend with 1/3 of my base coat being difficult to use and probably not fit for use, there would have been no leaks at all. And after the top coat it came up looking pretty nice. With the right products you can definitely extend the life of your inflatable.
