 Poster: A snowHead
|
After our last trip I noticed a hole in the upper part of one of my Dakine roller bags. We had long left the airport and didn't notice it until the following day so didn't make a claim. It must have been dragged some distance as it is wear/burn type hole. I don't want to throw the bag away as other than the hole it is still very functional.
Any suggestions for repair patches?

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

@stevieb, I've tried Duck Tape but it won't stay stuck to the outside. The inside is okay as the surface is smoother.

Gorilla Tape is a million times better than crappy duct tape, gave up with tat once I discovered Gorilla, sticks and is strong, comes in black, silver and they do a clear repair tape too.

Repair patches such as those you get with an airbed should stick, if not you can use super glue.
Alternatively, stick tape inside and spread silicon sealant over the hole. You can either stick the patch on top of this or just leave it as it is once it's set.

A bit of an old bag? My garage is lined with old snowboard bags... the baggage handlers wreck them.

I used one of those iron on patches on some of our board bags and they have stuck really really. you need to be very careful to not overheat the surface depending on the finish on it but the hot glue stuck it on very well, much better than the other patches we have done with gaffa tape

I’ve used iron on patches on stuff particularly ski pants & pats edge guards. Iron on is great for repairing Gortex but Gorilla tape sticks better and is stronger on edge guards.
I’ve had Gorilla Tape on bags and it’s lasted multiple transatlantic trips. It’s also good for repairing waders and keeps them water tight!
Don’t confuse it with duct tape which is pretty useless for anything.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Another vote for Tuff Tape from Stormsure (www.stormsure.com). Patched up ski bags, boot bags and the old soft-top on MX5. Worked very well.

Gaza - who was your trip with?
I flew with Easyjet last year, using my friend's Dakine Low Roller, and noticed a rip in the fabric when I got home.
Having checked their website, they allowed you to email through up to seven days after arrival.
I didn't have high hopes, especially as it didn't appear to include cosmetic damage, but sent off pictures anyway and much to my pleasant surprise, they accepted my claim.
As a result, I've now got my mate's old bag (in a colour / style she didn't like and wanted to replace anyway) and she's got a brand new Dakine Low Roller gathering dust in her shed. She could have had a High Roller if she'd really wanted one.
Sorry that this is of little use to you (whether you flew Easyjet or not), but thought I'd share all the same for others' future reference.
