HH-66 Vinyl Cement, Specialty Thinners & Commercial Inflatable Repair Kits
Professional PVC vinyl repair products for bounce houses, inflatable water slides, commercial tents, tarps, and compatible event rental equipment.
What Is RH Adhesives?
RH Adhesives is an American specialty adhesive manufacturer based in Acton, Massachusetts, with manufacturing history dating to 1949. The family-owned company is best known for HH-66 Vinyl Cement, a solvent-based adhesive formulated to bond compatible PVC vinyl-coated materials. Jumper Supply offers RH Adhesives products including HH-66 Vinyl Cement, specialty thinners, and vinyl patch repair kits for commercial inflatable equipment and related applications.
Commercial inflatable rental companies depend on the condition of their equipment. Bounce houses, inflatable combos, water slides, and other attractions can experience wear from repeated setup, transportation, cleaning, and use.
Choosing the right repair materials is important. While ordinary household adhesives are not necessarily suitable for commercial PVC vinyl, RH Adhesives develops specialty products intended for compatible vinyl bonding and maintenance.
At Jumper Supply, equipment owners can compare HH-66 adhesives, thinners, and patching products while shopping for professional inflatable repair supplies.

About RH Adhesives — American Specialty Adhesives Since 1949
RH Adhesives began as a family-owned American specialty adhesive company serving shoe and orthotic applications. The manufacturer later expanded into vinyl cement products and continues to produce adhesives in Acton, Massachusetts.
Its products serve multiple markets, including commercial inflatables, marine equipment, vinyl pool liners, upholstery, construction materials, tarps, protective covers, and commercial tent applications.
HH-66 Vinyl Cement is especially relevant to businesses working with compatible PVC vinyl-coated fabrics. This includes many commercial bounce houses, inflatable slides, and similar attractions.
Product compatibility depends on the exact material, coating, adhesive formulation, and manufacturer-approved repair procedure.
RH Adhesives Products Available at Jumper Supply
The RH Adhesives product family includes original vinyl cement, different thinner formulations, and convenient repair kits.
HH-66 Original Vinyl Cement
HH-66 Vinyl Cement is the manufacturer's flagship adhesive for compatible PVC vinyl-coated materials.
It is used in appropriate applications involving commercial inflatable vinyl, vinyl tarps, tent material, pool liners, marine covers, and other compatible surfaces.
HH-66 is designed to create a flexible, water-resistant bond when used with compatible materials and applied according to manufacturer instructions.
The original formulation is solvent-based and requires appropriate ventilation, careful handling, and adequate bonding time.
HH-66 Original Thinner
HH-66 Thinner is intended primarily for use with the original HH-66 Vinyl Cement formulation.
Manufacturer-described applications include approved adhesive thinning, surface preparation, adhesive reactivation, and cleaning compatible application tools.
Thinner is not itself a replacement for vinyl cement and should not be used as a standalone patch bonding adhesive.
Use only according to the manufacturer's current instructions and safety data sheet.
HH-66 Toluene Free Thinner
HH-66 Toluene Free Thinner is a separate solvent formulation designed primarily for compatible use with HH-66 Toluene Free Vinyl Cement.
This product is intended for selected thinning, preparation, reactivation, and cleanup applications when permitted by the manufacturer.
Toluene-free does not mean solvent-free, nonflammable, or harmless. Proper ventilation and other safety precautions remain essential.
RH Adhesives Vinyl Patch Kits
RH Adhesives vinyl patch kits bring together compatible repair components for suitable smaller PVC vinyl repairs.
Jumper Supply's listed kit includes vinyl patch material, a small tube of HH-66 Toluene Free Vinyl Cement, an application brush, and cleaning wipes.
Patch kits are useful for appropriate punctures and small tears, subject to manufacturer-approved repair methods.
Large tears, damaged anchors, load-bearing seams, or other critical structural components may require specialized professional repairs rather than a simple adhesive patch.
HH-66 Toluene Free Vinyl Cement
RH Adhesives also produces HH-66 Toluene Free Vinyl Cement, a separate adhesive formulation for compatible PVC vinyl bonding.
Jumper Supply has also listed this adhesive within its broader inflatable repair inventory. It may not appear in every filtered RH Adhesives brand collection, depending on the product's current collection assignments.
Toluene-free vinyl cement and original HH-66 cement are different formulations. Buyers should review the appropriate adhesive instructions and select the corresponding thinner when needed.

What Materials Can HH-66 Vinyl Cement Repair?
HH-66 is formulated for appropriate PVC vinyl and vinyl-coated materials. Applications depend on the exact adhesive formulation and substrate.
Commercial Inflatables
Compatible PVC materials found in bounce houses, combos, inflatable slides, and other attractions.
Vinyl Tents & Tarps
Selected commercial PVC-coated tent material, covers, and heavy-duty vinyl tarps.
Other PVC Products
Compatible vinyl pool liners, marine coverings, and selected industrial materials.
Important: PVC vinyl and polyethylene are not the same material. HH-66 should not be assumed suitable for common polyethylene blue tarps or other incompatible plastics.
How to Use HH-66 for Compatible Inflatable Vinyl Repairs
RH Adhesives publishes repair guidance for compatible PVC vinyl materials. This overview is intended for product education and does not replace the complete manufacturer's instructions or the inflatable manufacturer's repair requirements.
General Vinyl Patch Repair Process
- Remove the equipment from service. Deflate the inflatable, disconnect electrical equipment, and evaluate the damage.
- Confirm compatibility. Identify the vinyl material and make sure adhesive patching is approved for the damaged area.
- Prepare the material. Clean and prepare the repair area using the applicable manufacturer-approved process.
- Cut a compatible patch. Size the patch to cover the damage with adequate overlap, following the repair specifications.
- Apply the cement. Follow the specific HH-66 product instructions for coating the appropriate bonding surfaces.
- Allow the adhesive to reach the proper tack. Timing depends on the formulation, temperature, and conditions.
- Press the bond firmly. Bring the materials together as instructed and apply even pressure to the bonded area.
- Allow sufficient bonding time. Inspect and follow all manufacturer requirements before putting the inflatable back into service.
Adhesive patching is not appropriate for every kind of damage. Repairs involving major seams, anchoring locations, participant containment systems, or other safety-critical components require qualified evaluation and manufacturer-approved methods.
How Long Does HH-66 Vinyl Cement Take to Bond?
HH-66's advertised quick tack time should not be confused with the time needed to develop the strongest bond.
| Stage | General Original HH-66 Guidance |
|---|---|
| Tack time | Approximately 2–5 minutes under suitable conditions |
| Initial bonding period | At least 1 hour under general manufacturer instructions |
| Strongest bond development | Approximately 24 hours |
These are general adhesive guidelines, not an automatic return-to-service timetable. Material type, repair location, adhesive quantity, temperature, humidity, and equipment-specific requirements all matter.
When Should You Use HH-66 Thinner?
HH-66 Thinner is a specialty solvent product, not a bonding adhesive.
Depending on the specific formulation and manufacturer instructions, thinner may be used for compatible surface preparation, cleaning, adjusting adhesive viscosity, or reactivating appropriate dried adhesive.
Original HH-66 Thinner and HH-66 Toluene Free Thinner have different chemical formulations and should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
Always check the current manufacturer's instructions for appropriate dilution ratios, compatible surfaces, and safe handling.
HH-66 Adhesive Safety & Proper Handling
Important Safety Considerations
- Use adhesives and thinners only with adequate ventilation and according to the product label.
- Keep solvent products and their vapors away from flames, sparks, and other ignition sources.
- Review the current safety data sheet for personal protective equipment and exposure controls.
- Do not assume toluene-free formulations are nonflammable or free of other solvent hazards.
- Store products in properly closed containers and suitable designated storage areas.
- Avoid using these products near energized equipment or other unsafe electrical conditions.
- Follow applicable rules for handling and disposal of leftover adhesives, thinners, and contaminated materials.
Choosing RH Adhesives for a Commercial Inflatable Rental Business
Commercial rental operators should choose repair materials based on the equipment they own, the type of damage, and the repair procedures approved by the inflatable manufacturer.
Before ordering, consider:
- Material type: Confirm PVC vinyl compatibility.
- Repair location: Identify whether the damage involves a nonstructural area or a safety-critical component.
- Adhesive formulation: Choose original or toluene-free HH-66 as appropriate.
- Thinner compatibility: Match specialty thinners to their approved adhesives.
- Patch size: Ensure replacement material is compatible and appropriately sized.
- Repair frequency: Purchase a container size that matches expected use and shelf life.
- Ventilation: Confirm that repairs can be performed safely in the available workspace.
- Equipment downtime: Allow sufficient bonding, inspection, and return-to-service time.
- Maintenance records: Document significant damage and repairs according to applicable operating requirements.
HH-66 Storage & Shelf Life
RH Adhesives publishes an 18-month shelf life from the date of manufacture for selected HH-66 products when properly stored.
Shelf life may vary by formulation and storage conditions. Always review the current product documentation and inspect the adhesive before use.
Store adhesives and thinners according to their labels, away from ignition sources and unsuitable environmental conditions. Keep containers closed and prevent contamination.
