what's the best way to patch the walls on an Otter?

[Grant]

bartered for one second hand, and it looks like the auger was set on it, without a blade cover in a couple of places... a few clean cuts around 2-3 inches long.

any advise on how to patch and have it hold up?

(as awesome as duct tape is the adhesive ain't so great in the cold....)

A friend used a wader repair kit and said it worked great.

I'm not sure how big your tear is?

I had my poles extended, flipped my Otter cabin over and pulled it behind the truck one day out on Mille Lac's a few years ago. Left a nice gash in the side

I contacted Otter and asked for a small piece of material and they sent it in the mail to me. Had some one stitch the new stuff on my house and also put iron-patches over the areas as well to re-inforce it! Haven't had a problem since.

If you want to have it done by someone you could bring it to canvas plus in rogers. They fixed up a friends fish house and did a good job.

Go to www.otter.com and order a patch kit in the color you want and then glue it on. I think they were $8.95.

One hint is to make the patch round. Corners snag on stuff. I used gorilla glue on a old Clam and it worked great. I would take the skin off the tub and do this on both sides on a flat surface. Im sure others have used other adhesives. What have others used?

I fixed a couple of small cuts on my shelter with "Goop". Its the clear gel like stuff used to patch holes in waders. I just covered both sides of the canves and held it together for a few seconds until it held....waited a half hour or so..and its like a clear patch....and tuff as nails.

Iron on patches!

Works like a charm.

Iron on patches will work if the tear is small, and as stated, cut your patch material to a round or oval shape and put a patch on both sides of the hole.

I take my canvas repairs to a canvas shop. That way the patches are sewed and glued on and are permanent.

I used duct tape for an on-the-ice repair three years ago. The duct tape is still there and doing it's job!
