cyrano2u Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I live in Arizona, desperation in the summer with no winds, means my vapor gets a lot of work out. And often kisses the the ground. Well I go overconfident and got a small rip in my kits sail from a thorn bush. Looking for advice as to how to repair sail as light as possible and not throw off the balance too much. Some suggested Mylar tape, looks heavy Is there a difference between Mylar and Tedlar tape in the old days we use to use a bead of crazy glue, is that technique still in vogue? Looking for wisdom of the group. thanks for the replies Edited May 10, 2016 by cyrano2u additinal info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makatakam Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Tedlar tape -- you can get it from Prism Kites and many kite shops. Also available on eBay as a repair kit that has other "repair" items in it for about $25.00 -- should have all you need and some to spare for future oopses.

hyzakite Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ouch! Such a classic, I would seek professional repair on this one, unless it just another kite to you. Home repairs on a Vapor is like repairing a 53 Corvette with bondo and duct tape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
