dylanj423 - 19-5-2010 at 08:33 PM

anybody know what the glue stuff for fixing kites is? or where i can get some... i have a small repair that i need to do, and want to try my hand at fixing it myself... iu have some repair tape, but i want to use the glue stuff... it seems like its just silicon, eh?

any advice or direction?


thanks :)

i am interested too for those spots where the threads start to look different. Just want to put on a dab to keep things from happening. I know when I had a rc plane I couldn't use any old super glue. Is there something safe for kite fabric?

GlueFix from KiteFix is good stuff. Sticky for fabric, flexible, UV resistant, waterproof.

depending on your repair ... i have recently left the glue and gone to an iron.

Super glue works fine on sails for small repairs that don't cross over cells. I've used it on many sport kites and a few foils too but you need to get it right the first time.
