Gill jacket repair
 

Have a hole in a sleeve of a Gill nylon foul weather jacket.

No one around here (S FL) seems to have any suggestions on how to patch
it.

Anyone know of some sort of glue & patch procedure to water proof the
hole in nylon?

Seems to me if an inflatable raft can be patched thus, should be a
similar procedure for nylon jackets.

Thanks

Have you thought of contacting Gill to ask them? The US importer is in
GA (Google for an address/phone #)...if they don't know, they can find
out for you.

Duct tape is the answer! It works on every other boating item known to man,
a jacket should be a piece of cake.

Use fast cure 3M 5200, a piece of vinyl coated nylon (color to match
the jacket) .... whack it together. Use fast cure 5200 and mask the
edges with tape. The Gil outershell is nylon so you should be able to
get a good match. You can get coated nylon and fst cure 5200 (tube)
from sources such as sailrite.com
