mattyg Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 OK, so I did it. Put a pole thru the floor of my Eldo - the rip is pretty small. What's the repair procedure folks? Quote
rbw1966 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Send it to BDEL. Same thing happened to me three days before I went to Alaska the first time. The repair was completed and I had my tent in hand within 48 hours. Quote
snodger Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 When I called BD about a rip in my bibler they referred me to: Rainy Repair They did a great job, including seam tape. Supposedly they do the repairs for many manufacturers. Quote
mattyg Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 How long does rainy repair take? I was actually hoping to use it this weekend. Quote
John Frieh Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I have always sent all my bibler repairs back to BD but then again I have never put a pole through the floor. Rainy does do good work Bummer on the tent Quote
mattyg Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Looks like rainy pass takes 5 business days for local customers or repair +50% for expedited orders. So if I wanted it for this weekend it would probably cost about $40. Any other suggestions? Quote
John Frieh Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Not going to happen my friend. If the hole isn't that big just tape it up for the weekend and then send it back on Monday... Quote
John Frieh Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I'd loan you one of mine but I am in PDX... not sure if that will help... if you are headed this way and want to borrow one let me know. Quote
mattyg Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Yah, that's what I'll do, duct tape it for the weekend & send it in next week. Thanks for the offer NOLSe Quote
IceIceBaby Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 If it is a small hole, repair it yourself. Get a patch of 400 or 500 Cordura and cut it to 2 round about 1” bigger then the hole diameter. Get some seam sealer and fill the hole with the seam sealer. Smudge some sealer on the top and bottom of the hole lay the patches to cove the holes evenly, then coat the patches with a—THIN-- coat of sealer. Let it dry for 24 hours. Quote
bcollins Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Might try Transition Threadworks in Tacoma. 253-359-4875. They do alot of work on tents, packs, and other gear. They put a floating lid and a crampon patch on my Arteryx pack and now my Khamsin 38 is even better than stock. (Yes it's possible!) Barry Quote
