    Burn holes! What to do?!

    I had a slight mishap last night and ended up with a few small burn holes in my Chameleon (1.6 hexon).

    Can anyone recommend a good way to patch this? I’m kinda sick about it.

    Tenacious Tape if it is not in an area that is under stress...

    Also I would call Dutchware and ask them what options you have... They always seem to be more than happy to help from what I've read.

    It’s at the foot end, on the other side from my feet, fortunately.

    I’ve emailed Dutchware, and I can hardly wait to hear back from them. Thanks for all the suggestions!

    That might not be so bad then since I doubt it gets much stress there, definitely wait to hear back from them but I'd imagine taping it like Groundhog mentioned would work just fine. Good luck to ya, hope it doesn't keep you out of a hammock for too long... I hear it's bad for your health

    Dutch can probably get it fixed up if you don't have any sewing abilities.

    Tenacious tape applied as factory recommended. I have used Tenacious Tape for years now and it has worked great, always does the job as long as I follow the instructions.

    Yep, if it is in a low-stress area, just apply a ROUND patch to BOTH sides of the fabric and it just might outlast the hammock.
