    How to fix a Rain Suit

    I put a hole in my Gore Tex rain suit this weekend with a crank bait. It put a little rip in the jacket. Is there a way to fix it to help keep the water from coming in a little better IE: epoxy.

    I did wear my Frog Toggs not worth the money. I got pretty wet. Ryan.

    since epoxy doesn't flex when cured, I doubt that that would work very well (unless the rip is small and in an area that wouldn't flex much). I really don't know how to do it, maybe a dab or two of silicone or some hot glue?

    Gore technologies, make some repair tape that is pretty good.

    Actually, I think it is made by McNett products.......and is called something like Tenatious tape.........

    I've used this stuff on tents, packs, tarps, and rain gear......GOOD STUFF.

    You might find this locally in Louisville at BPS or Quest Outdoors at the Summit.
