ditto on iron on. I know clam makes a adhesive tape to repair holes for there shelters that works good too. Frabill might too.

I used gorilla tape on the inside of my clam a few years ago. Still holding strong. Just make sure to bring it inside and warm it up first.

Have used a needle and thread before and it made a permanent repair that is not noticeable.

I've used duct tape before and it's worked fine...there are better solutions but it's tough until it's warm and you can work on it when you don't "need" it  :tipup:

Wader patch kit.  Hit it on both sides.  Will be strongest part on your shanty

Stupid bees built a nest in my clam 3600 a couple years ago. The nest ate a giant hole in the roof. I used an old canvas tackle bag, cut it to size and sewed it in place of the hole. It has been holding up ever since.
Anyone can be a fisherman in May...E.H.
