I guess you have all thought of this as well….but much of our gear (unless you are 100% cuben) contains silnyl which you cannot fix with duct tape
I was thinking about taking a small amount of silnet (or just sil caulk) but the tubes are pretty big (i dont foresee huge amounts being used)
anybody try to repack this? maybe a straw style…? I guess the main concern is it might cure in there
MSep 30, 2012 at 5:16 pm #1916963I just scavanged the tube of Silnet out of a Gear Aid Sil-Fix repair kit. It's a 0.25 ounce tube…
Sep 30, 2012 at 6:27 pm #1916984The clear silnylon tape is my first choice for silnylon repair in the field. I've never needed it, but keep a few square L's in my repair kit just in case.
