How would you go about patching a ground blind? If I can save some money and do it myself before the end of the season that would be great. It has two small tears and one about 3"x2". It looks like you could sew it but by the time you pop the hubs out it would probably tear out the tread. It sucks because I thought I had that thing tied down good and if I didn't have it in the middle of a thorn patch I could have said good by to that blind after three days of strong winds. Thanks for any help guys.
I use Gorilla tape from any big box hardware store. It's just glorified duct tape, but it come in camo. I got a 6 inch tear in mine and put the tape across the outside of the tear and matched it on the inside and sandwich it together. It hasn't moved or got worse in 2 years.
I was thinking about duct tape but I thought a patch might work better. I might end up trying it because it's my sisters first year hunting and she's only been out once and I would like her to get a deer her first year. She sat in my stand but it's harder for her to draw her bow in the stand for some reason, so the blind is her only option
Yeah I know it will work but I don't want them to get get bigger especially since it's winter and snow will come eventually and tear them more. Yeah it's only $100 but I don't want it to be a complete pile of crap when I don't want to buy a new one right now.
Sew it with waxed dental floss and then put super glue on the seam. Did this to a 2 ft tear in my hub style blind and it's worked great.
Dental floss is a good option and then cover it with duct tape. "If you can't fix it with duct tape, it can't be fixed!"
Good suggestions! I would patch it when it's relaxed not erected that way you can pull the tear closer together!
I would get a bottle of tear mender or camo patch. We use them on our wall tents all they time. Leave the blind erected and take a patch of material, squeeze a bead (it's runny) down each edge of the patch. have someone inside the blind hold a piece of plywood agains the tear so you have something to press the patch against. It works perfect and will last through rain, snow, whatever... tape would be the last thing I use. You can get tear mender at fabric stores and places like Ace.
I think you must take the help of a contractor for repairing the patching as patching is not as easy as you think. I had a heard about Paving Contractors Queens who provides with the best quality work related to construction hope it will be helpful.
