Pinholes in canvas

[Kevin B.]

I know how to patch big holes and tears, but I've never dealt with pinholes in canvas tent fabric. You guys think a silicone sealant would do the trick?

I have never done it but there are what seem some good suggestions in this thread. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=580864

I've got a fresh tube of seam grip they gave me at the OR show you can have...

We always used Silicone Adhesive and if the hole was big we would just glue a patch on it.

RTV is the same as Silicone adhesive that Doss mentions.

Turn the pin hole into a big hole and patch as usual.

Thanks Jack. These are tiny little holes, way to small to be worth a patch. Silicone it is.

I've never used McNetts, I'll take it!

Shoe Goo with little gold stars applied over it. Or better yet, glow in the dark stars and planets, just for fun.

I have begun using Clear RTV when I can for repairs like this (even on my nylon tent to fix a pinhole), has better adhesion, doesn't discolor as fast as McNetts and is cheaper

Seem grip fixes almost any gear problem you may have. Awesome stuff.
