Small hole in my kite... Tape it?

Post by Proparoo » Tue Feb 20, 2007 5:29 pm

Went out yesterday and noticed a tiny hole in my kite...
Any suggestions? I don't think I have any kite cloth / ripstop tape, what can I use till I get some?

most kites come with a little repair kit. all you have to do is put some heavy duty tape on either side, taking care to rub some alcohol to clean the surface first. anything better than say, masking take will probably be okay at least temporarily.
