Topic: Environmesh repair?

[Steve.]

I've a large piece of environmesh with a few holes in it (bigger than the holes that's supposed to be there)

Has anyone successfully repaired Environmesh before, if so, how?

Steve...:)

I haven't tempted to any repairs yet..although some of mine do have some holes too..but I just tend to make a bit of fold over the hole bits or beg it together with normal wooden clothes pegs.
But if you want to do a 'proper job..you could try 'darning' with fishing line and perharps giving little touch with hot metal/iron' to slightly melt the joint together..or if you have edge on your mesh that is coming undone..pull a little bit of 'yarn' and use that for perfect match.
I got instruction with mine that all the cut edges whould be 'melted' to stop them fraying. Can't see why same could not be done with 'patches' or bit of 'hand sowing'.

could you hot glue a patch on it ??

It darns very well with a bodkin and polyprop string. For a temporary repair you can 'stitch' it with cocktail sticks. They'll only last for a season but they might just save the day if no heat's available.
