RIB Repair on the seam

I have a Silver Marine PVC dingy that has a leak on the rear pantoon on the seam. I have asked around, but there are no local people to repair this leak. Has anyone has any luck reparing a leak on a seam? I was thinking I might try using a suringe to get some glue into the leaking seam then clamp it.

How old is the dinghy... the leaking seam may be just the first of many about to give up the ghost...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
