I’m organizing my gear repair kit and wondering what I should carry in the event I need to do field repairs on my X-Mid. Does anyone know what kind of Tenacious Tape works on sil/PU poly? I have the regular TT and also TT developed for sil-nylon. I’m thinking the sil-nylon one should also work on the X-Mid? Thanks!
May 18, 2021 at 1:38 pm #3713220I picked up Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Silnylon patches off of Amazon. If I am not mistaken.. they should also work on Silpoly. I actually used a small patch the other day on my Silpoly Lunar Solo to hold a small magnet for the door. So far, it seems to hold.
