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 -- Ted Borck |

The US importer is in GA (Google for an address/phone #)...if they don't know, they can find out for you. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/store/custo...0&cat=6&page=1 http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |

Duct tape is the answer! It works on every other boating item known to man,
a jacket should be a piece of cake. "Peggie Hall" wrote in message ... Ted Borck wrote: Have a hole in a sleeve of a Gill nylon foul weather jacket.

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 In article , Bryan wrote: Duct tape is the answer!
