repair hexon 1.6

**Jay S** · 09-05-2019, 18:52

Hello all,
I found a line of 5 or 6 very small holes in my Hexon 1.6 netless hammock. They are located around the midpoint of the long axis of the hammock so this area is typically under body weight pressure. What would the recommended fix be?

Thanks,
Jay

Stop getting into your hammock wearing those Levi/ rivet jeans -

- seriously - If there is yarn damage you might try a drop of permatex to keep it from traveling ( like fixing a spark hole in a tarp to close to fire) or if the holes were created such that the yarns are just pushed aside you can massage the fabric and the hole should close up- no damage

Yes, these are discreet holes in a line, unlikely from jeans.

Thanks for the start but Permatex is a brand and I have a number of different Permatex products. Anything more specific? The products I have are all different threadlocking strengths.

You want the Permatex flowable silicone windshield seal

I'm also debating using either Seamgrip or Aquaseal, with or without some Tenacious tape on both sides...

Does this stay a bit flexible?

Perfect excuse to buy a new hammock.

Likely to happen either way...however, I did receive my new Chameleon yesterday!!! Off to the shed to set it up.

Crazy glue will lock down the threads and add strength. Wipe the tip off so you don’t make a large blob. It also works great for the threads holding buttons.
