undermind Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 The subject just about says it all.. I'm actually patching eVent fabric on some shell pants, but I guess it doesn't matter too much.. By the way, I'm sure someone's dying to reply "duct tape!", thanks but no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinfox Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 REI sells some self-adhesive nylon repair tape in a few different colors. It works very well... almost as well as duct tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Don't use duct tape. Use Seam Grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undermind Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 so the REI sleeping pad repair kit would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I have used the gore tex patch kit on some pants and always had the thing peal off. My advice would be to stitch the slice shut (assuming it is big) to prevent further tearing and then use a small amount of seam grip to attach the patch (any nylon patch will do... goretex or not) over the stitching. Do this on both sides of the tear. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin_B Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I use the stuff all the time and love it. works great for me. I got some at the OR store (50% off) a while back, and I've also bought it at REI (repair department). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
