I just noticed that I have a small elongated hole (approx 1mm x 4mm) at the foot of my RidgeRunner, probably from an ember from a too close fire. What is the best way to patch/repair it?
It is not in an area of extreme stress, but I am afraid that it could tear further.
Thanks,
Dean
You best info will be from Brandon at WB and I recommend contacting him.
If its in the endcap, I would just patch it with your choice of stick on fabric, but it sounds like it is in a higher stress area than that. If so, I'd do what GMCTTR said and contact brandon.
The stitching on my double layer started coming apart and I sent it to Warbonnet. Brandon had it back to me in just a few days!
I put a small tear in the end of my RR on the head end,,and just took nylon threrad and sewed it shut by hand about a year ago,,and its fine,,,you can't even tell the 1" tear is there. At either end,,no stress in those areas and you can do about anything to patch it. Its a single layer RR and I sleep in it every nite inside the house and outside in better weather.
Thanks for the replies. I'll see if I can get a suggestion from Brandon.
I used Tenacious Tape on my SF tarp. Worked like a charm.

Got some Tear-Aid, Type A (at Brandon's rec) which was a breeze to apply and appears as though it will be an effective repair.
Does anyone know if the Tear Aid would work on mosquito net? First time I laid in my skeeter beater I flipped and put a hole in the netting.
It should be fine but you should put it on both sides so the glue doesn't make a mess. --and make the patch the same size on both sides of course.Originally Posted by ace731
