Hi all, looking for suggestions please?

Bought a cyprinus fast n light in the dpm aquatex type material. It has 2 tiny holes in the material. Emailed them, they have no stock till May, so offered me a refund or a discount, which I elected for. Their commms by the way we're very good, thanks Nina.

So I have 2 holes where I think a rough weld on a spoke has poked through the material.

I'll wet n dry sand the spoke smooth, but what should I use to seal or patch the holes? There probs only 2mm square at most.

Thanks in advance.

I use clear gorilla tape, had to replace a small patch after a few years works a treat.

For small holes I would use Aquasure. Put a piece of tape on one side and apply Aquasure to the other, once cured remove tape and apply Aquasure to that side.

Gorilla tape does the job on small holes.

Tenacious tape is great stuff, always had a roll in my camping emergency kit for impromptu tent repairs. Spinnaker \ Sail repair tape is also very useful, comes in a variety of colours too.
Are you sure?
