CooBeans Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Quick fix - white duct Tape, But I bet you could have sewed shut if you or someone you know can sew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeiilll Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have sewn up some rips in my inflatables without any trouble. Just use some heavy thread (especially if it is a rip around a tie down point) and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeosf Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Check out camping supply stores. They make patches for tents with amazing glue already applied.They are flexible and come in lots of colors.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph D Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 The rip is right to the left of his side ring that sticks out so he can be made level.(the one on his hip) looks to me like a high wind went one way and Sam went the other and the wind won.well at least i wont have to look hard for the cloth material I have a second sam the snow man I use for parts. so i guess its time to cut some up. i also found boating tape called tear-aid, funny i think i have some us this stuff in the garage. ill keep every one posted. Thanks everyone. this is such a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 sew it up, then apply a waterproof glue or resin to that area. Done! before I went LightOrama my Harley Santa tore all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
