Was I mistaken ?

A sib is a soft floor inflatable boat that will roll up and fit into a bag to ease with carrying or storage.
There are many different floor designs, exampoles include - Air floor mat, Wooden/Metal boards over an Inflatable Keel or a High Pressure V Floor.

I'm sure I read a post on here about adhesive for SIB's, and was sure someone quoted CT1
Was that correct ?

To stick what exactly?

If your looking to repair pvc toobs or add fittings then a two part pvc adhesive like this is what you need (other makes are available);

Hi Steve

Not sure what CT1 is to be honest, but here's my go-to source for information and supplies for adhesives & related stuff for SIBs:

https://www.polymarine.com/advice/technical-sheets/

In case you're not sure whether your SIB is PVC or Hypalon, some info can be found here:

Hope this helps.

For sticking extras on the SIB,
I was correct as I search my eBay history, and deffo checked out prices,
Which was more the reason for this post, as imagine my joy, on walking into the works store room and seeing this lol

Really need to know what extras Steve. CT1 is great stuff but I would not use it to attach anything to the tubes.
Why am I here - I should be in my boat fishing!!

I use ct1 for a lot of things, sticking wood together, floor tiles etc, it’s great stuff but I wouldn’t use it on my boat
