janola Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I make soft kites, but this question is probably also pertinant to frame supported kites. For the first time, I used the 'hole in the skin' method- with disapointing results. Even strengthened with adhesive ripstop. They ripped out quick a real pain to repair -especially in a foil. So Im interested to see what the general consesus is. (Would also be handy to know if you have a preferred method for a particular type of kite) Cheers Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsal Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sewn in tabs! I've never figured out a method for poking a hole that didn't look like trouble waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
