Patching holes in canvas of portable

[jacobj12k]

I ended up with a couple small burn holes in my canvas on my Yukon. What's the best patching method that anyone has found to be effective?

I just purchased a used house yesterday that had some minor wear on the sides and a burn mark on the door . The burn mark was about 2.5 inches buy a 1/4 inch. I went to a local upholstery shop and they sold me a piece of canvas (3ftx5ft roughly) and an adhesive glue that you put on the house and then on the canvaswait 2-3minutes and then press them together it was an easy process and cost me less than $15- I went and tested it out about 2 hours later and it held tight. The adhesive container says the bond will strengthen over time. Hope this helps. Oh, I got it from SIS Upholstery in St. Cloud.

I had 1 hole from a mouse over the winter and used a blue jeans iron on patch on each side. worked fine and no issues. that was 5 years ago.

Will have to second broncos, used the iron-on patch trick and it worked VERY well. Not only is it slick and easy to do, it's quick!!! Most of all, it appears to be durable.

$1.05 at walmart, with enough material to patch 2 holes about 3"X5" each. Did I mention the green color matches the Otter canvas almost exactly?

I used a product from a sowing store called tear mender. I used pieces from an old truck tarp and glued em on, work pretty good.

I have used iron on patches on Clams for 15 years. I just gave away a Clam Junior that I had burnt a couple of holes into. The iron on patches lasted at least a couple hundred set ups and take downs.

i jsut bought a piece of extra material from otter (available pretty much anywhere otter shacks are sold). i think it was $3 or so. i had a local upholstry place sew it on for me, one piece over each side. the hole in my shack was about 1' around, and i figured having it sewn on would probably hold up better in the long run.

I purchased a tent patching kit a couple of years ago and patched a hole in my Clam. I put a patch on each side, inside and outside. It has held up very well. Basically the kit has some material and glue. I probably bought it at Cabela's but I'm sure a lot of stores carry something similar.

I second the comment about Tear Mender. Great stuff for any fabric. Put some on both pieces and slap together. Done.

I third tear mender..worked great on my house, 3rd season with it and still holding up. Works good on your work pants (reinforcement). Got mine at walgreens....

Ditto on the iron on patch. Walmart has several colors that will match your brand of house. Just a little tip. Have someone hold a block of wood on the other side of the canvas as you iron the spot flat and then iron on the patch. Takes about 1 minute to do both sides, cools in 2 minutes, and you are ready to go no waiting for adhesives to dry.
