They are hot taped on. My suggestion is just send it into BD and have them do the repair. It will come on back and ready to go. |

What is hot tape? I've been playing around with a roll of venture tape for joining things, been pretty happy with it but always interested in better ways of bonding materials |
|
Thanks for the input, I haven't heard of hot tape. And I would like to do the repair myself because BD doesn't do tent repairs anymore I believe, they outsource it, but I'll call them |

If for some reason you don't want to just have Black Diamond repair it, which sounds to me like the easiest option, perhaps Loon Wader Repair will help. Its a substance used to repair leaks in flyfishing waders that melts plastic chemically, creating repairs as strong as the plastic fabric itself. I had a Marmot shell jacket on which the pocket seam blew out. Multiple attempts to melt the edge of the plastic patch back to the main body of the jacket did not hold. Eventually, I ran a bead of Wader Repair along the entire edge of the blown out seam. So far, 6 months later, its held up. Less risk of melting/burning a hole through the base fabric too. |
