RIB Storage

[Sea Breeze 74]

Does heat affect the glue on RIB pontoons? I stored my previous RIB in a tin shed that gets very hot on a sunny day. It was an old dinghy and the glue gave out but I was wondering if I shouldn't be storing my new one in the same place?

I had my RIB under a BLACK tarp to protect the pontoons, they were getting sticy. One week later the padded upholstery were toasted… so very hot is not good.

Not sure about all RIB adhesives but on my Zodiac, the seams were toasted and let go pretty much everywhere after storage in a dark hot shed for a few months.
