The process for tubes at Iguana is as follows: we receive a tube with a time-saving manufacturing base. We position the tube on the boat to trace the areas to be sanded to prepare certain areas in particular for gluing this tube. Afterward, I trace the patches and then glue the cuffs on them so that they are ready. I then apply my patches to my tube. You should know that at this moment the tube is still on the ground because all the preparations must be perfect before being able to complete the bonding on the boat. Once everything is validated (patches and cuffs), I glue the tube to the boat. You might think that my mission is complete after this step but I still have to make all the connections between the tube with the bridge, the console, and the bench that we call the lips. Finally, I do the fender part to finalize the turn of the tube. This step is last because the tube can tend to twist during gluing, so I take no risk that the fender will twist too. Of course, there is also cleaning for maximum finishes. To carry out all of these missions I will need approximately 1 week depending on the people who will help me but also the drying time to take into account the color of the tube. On a black tube, the fender will be more complicated to clean than a fender on a gray tube. 

Some missions were more challenging, for example, we had a boat with tubes that could inflate and deflate so that it could be put into a garage. The most different step was adding valves inside and I didn’t know how to do it at the time. So I had to learn and that was the biggest difficulty to overcome.
