Repairing small tears in LEI?


MY friend called last night and apparently he flew his LEI under a pontoon boat!? :roll:

ANyway, He has a few small tears in the fabric, any suggestions on repairing? I doubt he will send it away to the pro's, but any suggestions are welcome.

LOL Pontoon'd... yet, sad :no:

If they are small tears, tear aid type A repair tape, sail tape, and if all else fails duct tape on both sides............make sure to line up the tears best as possible prior. If he knows how to work a sewing machine machine a "V" some may call it zig zag stitch along the edges of the tape will aid the repair (but not necessary). Many LEIs come with a patch/repair kit inside the bag. Have him take a look prior to ordering.................good luck and hope this helps:dunno::lol::duh::lol::duh:
