i have a coupple of rolls of duct tape :P
, seems to do a good job, if not just buy a new cover when they deteriorate wherever you stitch in new materieal it will just fall to bits. |

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Duct tape?? erm..... bodge job?
Fontal, take it to a sail maker and they'll repair it for you. Any sail maker will be able to do it, especially if they already make covers as they'll more than likely have the exact materials to match so it doesn't stick out. Edited by Doug.H |

I used some of this on my vinyl and fabric cover. It's very sticky and is still sticking 18 months on.
It even comes in blue so doesn't look out of place. Edited by Hengest |
