Default Nylon Tear Repair ?

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.


Too bad Billy Mays passed on....You could have told that to him about
his "Mighty Mendit". G
