how small? I might have some i can just send you.

I have some jade green, grey, and golden yellow scraps if you are interested I can send you some for free.
I've got some pieces of several other colors (tan, navy, purple, jade, etc) – just tell us what color and size and some one will be able to help you out.
So people have scraps, sure, but where can you get it by the yard? I'd love a few yards of it
owfinc.com
thru-hiker.com
questoutfitters.com
and about a million more places

Tim, Ben and Marc – Thanks for your kind offer of scraps! Seriously!
I have about six 2 1/2 inch cuts in a Golite green poncho I need to patch.
It's my own fault – I bought the poncho used here, but had forgotten about it when I got this odd squishy package. I slit the package open, and discovered that I had just sliced through a half dozen layers of my new poncho!
Any colors would be fine – in fact, a multi-colored set of patches would have a certain panache, eh?!
PMs will be sent!
Thanks also for the on-line stores – I will bookmark them for future stupidities!
Ben, I couldn't PM you, but if you PM me, I'd be glad to give you my address! Thanks!
i recommend the method of laminating sil that was recently and article on BPL by Jim C. I did that on his suggestion for mid panel tie-outs a few years back and it worked great. It would be a great way to patch the poncho without sewing. You could glue the patches on from the inside so on the outside it was less noticeable.

Exactly what I was planning!
In fact, it was the laminating article that got me thinking of this.
Thanks!
Marc and Tim, thanks for the silnylon – between the two of you, I'm sure I have enough for the job!
Tim, you are a hoot! As soon as I saw the box, I started laughing! "NO KNIVES!!!" LOL!!! With all you sent me, I'm sure I have enough patch material for the next 20 years! Thanks, buddy!
Once I get the patching done – which may not be for a month – my weekends are all taken – I'll post a photo of my poncho of many colors!
Thanks again, guys!
