Dunno where to put this but ... had to drop my Kitewing on the concrete in the carpark I was zooming around in today :wee: and grazed some holes in the sail, at the hardpoints on the leading edge.

What would be the best method of repair? Glue and hand-stitch a layer of something over the top? Or just mylar tape?

Thanks in advance ...

yep

I got some stuff called Tear Aid - I put holes in my Airush third time out which is why I bought a used one for $100 of a good mate :D

The problem is, looking at them again, the holes are on the knobby bits where the frame touches the cloth ... so if I drop it again, it'll go through the tape

I'm thinking of gluing some erm tougher fabric at those points and maybe stitching the edges - whaddya think?

try KiteFix, the sell Repair Dacron

some pics would help too. =)

kitefix.com? I'll check it out ...

oops. sorry yes KITEFIX.COM

we dont have any Repair Dacron instock yet.

you can get them direct, if you're in a rush.

We? That your store? Will be sure to support dacron come in a see-thru version?
What kind of glue is the glufix?

KITEFIX is not my shop ...

nope, never seen Clear Dacron before, but it does come in green, red, blue, white and black

if you're trying to hide the holes, maybe Clear Supertape.
U2U me, and i can send you a small sample to try first.
