|
|
Popped top up to air out (it is fairly new) and noticed a pinhole. Was thinking of applying a speck of rubber cement or other . . . any ideas? My canvas is grey, would be nice to have a near invisible repair. |

Thanks, was hoping to find a little brush on product, seems like a dab of grey silicon RTV could work if I can find it |

If you have a fly fishing shop near you, they sell small tubes of wader repair products. Just dab a bit on the pinhole. Very flexible and long lasting. _________________ 85 westy-1.9-standard trans, FAS GenV 2.0 |

A dab of Goop will work well.

Pinholes can be addressed in an aesthetically pleasing way by sewing on a clever , funny or otherwise pleasing cloth insignia, like a "WESTFALIA" or "VW' or "Yellowstone" patch. Maybe even a Boy Scout merit badge? _________________ '86 Syncro Westy SVX |
