rigging65 0 #3 March 25, 2003 There is adhesive ripstop tape (about 2 in. wide) that looks just like heavy rip stop material. The downside is that it doesn't stick well AT ALL to ZP, it does, however, do great things on F111...in fact, in can be used as a patch without even sewing it. Over time though, it does leave a residue on the material. In fact I'm not aware of anything you can stick on a canopy that doesn't leave some residue. Is this maybe what you're thinking of? We've used Adhesive Sheet Dacron to make logos before...it seems to work well, but it needs to be sewn in place.

Over time though, it does leave a residue on the material. The adhesive on F-111 Rip-stop tape is acidic to nylon fabric. Over time it will deterorate down to the strength of tissue paper. I never use it. Poynters does say that if it used (on non-approved canopies), use it as a temporary fix and sew it. For the permanant fix, remove the entire area that had the adhesive on it, and patch it. Hook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
