Gore-Tex Shoe Tear: Repairable?

I think I answered part of my own question:

Joe,
The article says

"Mix these together with a paint stirrer to achieve a consistency that resembles maple syrup, "

Somewhere in there may be more details but I found the easiest way to do this is with a variable speed drill motor and a piece of coat hanger bent into the shape of a capital J. It will take about 5 minutes or more to get a nice smooth mix. Doing it by hand takes a long long time.

I use a a 1 quart plastic yogurt container with a hole in the lid to keep the splashing in check.

Joe,

Use the McNett Seam Sealer along the tear without thining. Silicone adhesive will not bond well to the nylon.

Yep. Seam Grip is the ticket. No sewing.

McNett's Seam Grip is just a thin version of Shoe Goo and Goop. It will penetrate the fabric better and it ought to fix the tear permanently. Be SURE to clean the fabric thoroughly with alcohol before you apply the glue.

I'd sew it with dental floss and smear seam grip on there. Simple.

The McNett quick cure for aquaseal has the side effect of thinning the mix a bit.

I sewed some of the outer fabric back together with some extra-strength Gutterman thread, and put some SeamGrip on it. Not pretty, but should do the job.

I have yet to test in the field.
