Poster: A snowHead
|
A few cm of tape has come away from a hood seam in my shell jacket. Thinking should to be able to re glue it but was wondering with what??:
Copydex
UHU
or some other glue.
Anyone repaired something similar??

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

either seamgrip or there is a tape made specifically for repairing rips and thing like this in clothing, it is a clear flexible tape which will bond across any damage (can't remember the name) most out door stores should have one or both of these

Evo Stik Serious Glue is better than Seamgrip. About £5 for a 30g tube at B&Q.

CEM, I've used stuff called 'Tenacious Tape' and it is, tenacious that is. Is that the stuff?

if you can get some, bostic 2402 is your very best option. should be around 15 quid. usually used to seal rubber wrist seals/neck seals into dry suits for diving.
My north face jacket seam failed last year - its a 10 year old summit series jacket that i wouldn't give up for the world. i used bog standard evostick and its still going strong.

And remember to store partially used Seamgrip or Aquasure in the freezer.

colinstone, If it can't be fixed with one or more of: duct tape, wood glue, super glue or araldite,
then it's broken.
Or get some seam seal stuff, it's for sealing seams

rogg, nope it is a material called tear-aid, made by storm waterproofing a flexible clear tape which fixes anything from jackets to tents with rips in them, maybe not the perfect material in this case (although can't see a reason not to use it if you had that and no seam grip)

I've used that "tenacious tape" to repair small holes in numerous shells. It's great stuff, the repairs are still going strong after multiple washes and a whole load of more use. I normally cut a circular patch out of the roll rather than square as the corners can start to roll up a bit otherwise.
