Default Nylon Tear Repair ?

Robert11 wrote:
Hello,

Have a Nylon rain hood that goes over the top of my golf club bag to prevent
rain from hitting the clubs.
It has torn.

Is there a generally accepted really good product, perhaps, for repairing a
tear in Nylon like this ?
If so, brand please ?

Just curious, so will also ask now: are the two ends butted for the repair,
or overlapped ?

And, is tape on the underside usually needed, or required ?

Thanks,
Bob


I used Gorilla glue to repair a tear in a nylon hunting boot. Boot, of
course, has underlying structure and repair looks good after 3 years.
In your case, I would use a backing nylon fabric strip. No glue is
going to hold 2 cut ends of fabric.
