NEED TO REPAIR MICE HOLES IN SHANTY
« on: Dec 30, 2009, 12:02 PM »
I have a DX 3000 ice shanty, seems the mice found it tasty so I have about a dozen holes ranging from a quarter to a golf ball size..... anyone ever patch there shanty. It is that blue type canvas, not sure of the exact material..... It is more cloth than tarp.

I assume that is a mail order item.... I would think a hardware store would sell something similar... Trying to a quick fix today

Sounds like a plan, and easy and cheap plan too.... My buddy put some tyvek tape on his shanty like 3 years ago and it still holds... He only has 1 hole so I did not want 20 white pieces of tape all over mine

Ordered my patches from Clam and they were at my house in 3 days.  Used the 3M adhesive recommended and it is working wonderfully..

I just did a quick fix here at work with some tyvek tape. I will order the patches this week. The tyvek tape works great but is ugly.... Just for the record I tried the Gorrilla tape and that peeled off in about 30 min.... sucked

I've used the iron on patches with 100% success.  They come in a variety of colors to match your canvas color too.  I used a vinyl cutting board behind the holes to keep the patches from adhering to anything else.
