Title: patching textile paints
Post by: CougarSlayer on October 30, 2008, 11:04:13 PM
Just curious I just purchased some new pants went down going about 40 mph got a couple of small holes in the knee.  Is there anyway I can patch the pants I just got them not even two days ago. 

Thanks,

Almost any patch you do won't be waterproof anymore. You could probably patch it anyway just to keep the wind out though. Most textile gear is 1 fall and that's it. Sucks that you used it so soon.  :-\

So duct tape is out of the question?

maybe that wacky bond glue stuff they advertize on late night television would work. That crap fixes parachutes and they work again.

Look at the gore-tex patch material and some seamgrip.  The patch will be waterproof fabric and has adhesive on the back.  The seamgrip will let you 'paint' around the edge of the patch and will waterproof the edges.  You can get both from someplace like Galyan's, REI, Campmor, etc.
