Patching

Post by C8H10N4O2 »

Hey All,
I have a number of 32's with small holes in the center of panels. These developed on some bags of mine before they were past they're prime, even with appropriate bag care (I.E. no toe ups, gentle hand washing etc.).
Has anyone found a material that works well to patch bags like this? In the past I've tried a spot of superglue, which works pretty well, but leaves a hard spot that can cause wear and the development of tears on the material around its edge. I've also heard of duct tape and surgical tape being used, but have never tried either. Any experience or suggestions?

Surgical tape for sure. You can get cheap rolls of it at Rite Aid, or Eckerd... places like that.
