Cheers John

£4.50 is a great price for this type of thing but not being usable on sil-nylon is a weakness in my view given how prevalent the material is now in gear manufacture.

The wool wash does look like something i might like to try though

My thoughts too Paul. However, there's always duct-tape for our silnylon stuff! (and which works on the other stuff too, come to think of it) Or just use a little blob of silicone on a small hole?

Well i suppose thats true but duct tape isnt a great performer around moisture and looks fugly too. I understand rhino tape is great with water. I tend to use spinnaker tape as its available in most colours, is super light, super strong, water proof and has a matching ripstop pattern

 

[Andy BB]

True re duct-tape - but good for emergency use. Top call on spinnaker tape though.

I'dimagine Spinn tape is good for silnylon, Spinnakers are often made from silicone impregnated nylon. Others are made with PU coatings and other stuff.

It would be good to find out because silicone is generally very difficult to get anything to stick to.

They also do one for silicon and vinyl, it's the type B product. Same price, but a different patch

Do a search on the internet for "Stormsure" they got some interesting repair kits for waterproof fabrics.
