another backpack repair question
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 11:28 am
My ULA P-2 pack, which I've had for several years and have hauled all over, has acquired some small holes in the bottom of the packbag. Not quite sure what snagged it (they mostly appear to be in a straight line), but now I want to repair it before they get worse--and before we go out again later this month. ULA is "closed until December", so I can't go there for advice.
The very teensy holes may be ok with a bit of seam sealer on both sides, but there's a bigger one about 1/8" that will need more. I'm leery of just slapping on a piece of nylon tape; in my experience, the edges lift up under pressure. Tape and fabric glue underneath? I will appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Obviously, I need to be more careful--it is a light pack after all. But, BTW, I've been extremely pleased with it; it's the most comfortable pack I've ever carried.
