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



You could find one of those iron-on patches. I think they still make
them.
Just slide a piece, slightly larger than the rip inside the hood, and
carefully iron the patch area. I have done this to repair a nylon ski
jacket one time and it held up very well.

If all else fails, ask at a camping shop. I know they sell repair kits for
tents, but never had reason to buy one.
