Anyone know how to repair a small split on a modern synthetic tent?  I thought you used to be able to get some patches that glued on with a special glue?


Cant you get 'the old bag' to darn it for you.
If you're going to York, why do I get the feeling I am in for a beating ;D


I have suggested such a thing to said 'old bag', I told her it was just like her cross-stitch, but apparently I am unimformed and stupid...  ...however, the swelling around my eye is going now...

Nah, easy enough....look!

LOL, apparently you can't easily stitch that sort of material.  Looking at your article, its "ripstop nylon for nylon tents", is that the same as Welung666's stuff above?

Yep.....had one repaired just the same many years ago.

By doing the above, the glue provides the sealent and the stitching the strength.

Presumably the Gelert patches mentioned by Welung do the same, but not using sperate glue/sealer?

Wonder if anywhere in Milton Keynes sells the stuff, presumably have to be an outdoor type of shop, rather than sports shops?
