Canvas glue

Post by Ralf85 »

Hi Guys. I have a very small rip in my canvas. What is the best glue to use to repair it?

Herringbone stitching. Use the thread from a spare piece of canvas to match. Done correctly it is as waterproof as the surrounding canvas, bit fiddly on fine canvas but prevents the rip progressing. See here https://paddling.com/learn/the-practica ... er-part-2/
Ignore any references to embroidery stitches anywhere as they are not true herringbone stitches.
