Inoah88 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Help I have a rip in my fishing bag and do not want to buy nor have the money for a new one. How should i fix this? Quote
Big C Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Camo duct tape. Wrap it tight, and use a lighter along the edges to really lock it on there. Quote
KDW96 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Sew it up with some braided line,any pics of the bag ? Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 Gorilla tape. X 2 Quote
RanndomUndead Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Like a DIY fisherman, Thread some 8lb mono through it and then find a way to finish it with a palomar knot Quote
Super User Scott F Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 See if there is a shoe and luggage repair store near you. They'll do a good job and it will only cost a couple bucks. Quote
zeth Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Where are you? Here in the Bay Area we have an outdoor equipment repair shop where they repair sleeping bags, tents, backpacks etc. Look for a place like this near you. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 That isn't that bad of a rip. My first inclination would be to live with it. Second, I'd try duct tape or gorilla tape. That gorilla tape is seriously heavy duty stuff. Third - get a heavy duty curved canvas stitching needle and some braid and sew it shut. None of these fixes are rocket science - I'd go with my first inclination unless I had some spare time and nothing and I mean nothing else to do. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 Gorilla tape and then sew over it with braided line. Quote
Brnnoser6983 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I would use a combo of clothing glue, and heavy stitching. Those two should extend the life of the bag, but that looks to be at the top zipper? You could also bring it into a tailor. They have the heavier thread, and the ability. Just might not be their normal piece of work. Quote
