How do I patch my Montbell pillow?

For small holes, I clean with soap and water (de-grease), rinse well, then clean with alcohol just to be sure it grease/oil free.

Then I apply a small dab of McNett's SeamGrip, gently and neatly "stir" it into the fabric with a tooth pick to assure wettting/bonding. When I'm done I have a neat round bump of SeamGrip. Let it dry for a couple of days, because of its thickness.

Montbell pillow, Thermarest, Exped Syn Matt are all going strong after repairs.

Thank you Greg.

I am concerned (albeit a tiny bit) about the "grippyness" of seamgrip or similar being uncomfortable by itself or perhaps pulling a bit on my beanie's material, that's why I hoped to use the patch of material, cut to size. It should feel the same as the pillow material.

Am I off base on this?

Hey Todd–

Check out Tear-Aid type A. It flexes, so as air moves around in your pillow, it will move and flex with that. Put a tiny dab of Seam Grip on the holes as previously described, then slap the Tear-Aid over top. You can probably also just tape it and not use any Seam Grip, I believe that's what the Tear-Aid instructional video says to do for patching an inflatable mattress. Test it, if the tape comes off, add Seam Grip to the equation and tape again

edit: also, it is not grippy feeling on top.

"Am I off base on this?"

The holes in my Montbell are pretty well centered, I always wear a fleece hat, never had a problem.

YMMV

Thank you both. I love the pillow so I want it right!
