The “Permanent Home Repair Kit” has dismal reviews on the Thermarest website.
The kittens have gotten their claws on my old Prolites. We’ll need them for car camping this summer. What would you use to repair the holes? Tenacious Tape?
Also, any tips for submerging a large pad (25″) in a small tub to find those holes?
