ThunderLund78 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Have had my hub-style portable for just a year and it's got a small hole. Totally my fault, I was being less than careful while messing around with it in my garage last year. Would like to patch it before getting out this year.Cablea's sells Tear-aid and it sounds like it's got good reviews for the most part. Has anyone used this product with success (or otherwise) for a portable? Would ideally like to get a matching color patch from the manufacturer but they don't seem to make one.

dan z Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Used tear aid on my old frabill it seamed to work well. If the fabric is still there try aqua seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Are you thinking of Tear Mender? That stuff works great on canvas repairs. I had mice chew a basket ball size hole in the top of a one year old 8 X 8 porty I had. Got a peice of blue canvas and the stuff stuck great. It comes out kind of milky and looks like it isn't going to work at first but after a few min's of holding the two parts together. You would have a hard time pulling them apart. I got some at Fleet.

If the fabric is still there try aqua seal dan z, I found a nice 1/2" inch nick on the side of my LX3 ice ducer cord. Do you think that Aquaseal would work on that? It's suppose to be for wadders and stuff like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan z Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Leech, if no wires are showing I believe it would work. Aqua seal is flexible so it won't hinder the performance of the cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigginjerk Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Tear Mender works great. Bought it at the hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben626 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 i used a iron onn patch kit on the interior of my flip over. I had 8 holes fixed in ten minutes. I got the patches from walmart and paid $4 for a assortment kit. the only bad thing there isnt much of a color asortment black, blue, green, white.
