Ahhhhh! freaking out just bought a new Portable Ice Shelter and

[ProgoHero]

when that happened to my quickflip I got the patch kit from Ardisam(makers of Eskimo products) and you can't even tell I burned it unless you are really looking for it. Turned out good. I'd give them a call, tell them what happened and they might just hook you up.

OKAY JUST SENT THEM A SOS WAITING... WILL UPDATE THROUGH OUT THE DAY THANKS

If it happened once it will happen again better make a shield for that thing.

too much trouble for fishing, just made a mistake on heater location. Live and learn.

Happend to the door on my Eskimo quick flip right after I got it thanks to a careless person I was fishing with. I used the self adhesive patches from Wally as well. Took care of all the other little holes I had in that cheap canvas at the same time. I got rid of the Sunflower and got a Big Buddy, more heat and lot less noise. Still use the big propane tank with a hose you don't have to use the little cans.

so you say, have you tried keeping 5 guys warm in a 6-8 man shelter with a big buddy? i understand where you are coming from but I just cant see the eskimo fatfish being at a comfy temp using Big Buddy. With that being said I have to use two flowers at med heat to be able to fish comfy. Thanks tho for the suggestions.

I once got my house snagged on one of the clamps holding down my topper when pulling it out of the truck. There was a 2 foot rip in the back wall of the tent. After a quick patch of duct tape on the ice. When I returned home I went to a fabric shop and they recommeded a self adhesive patch. The color was even a close match. I put it both sides of the canvas and it lasted for the remaining 5 years I owned it. It was still on there when I sold the house. Cost was about 10 bucks. I remember the patch material also came in me some 1 square foot sizes.

I see the Buddy vs Sunflower debate continues. Having used both I'd take a sunflower any day. Especially the heater/cooker.
