Guys
I need to fashion a repair on a silcone nylon tent and am told that the only effective adhesive is a product called Sil Fix by a company called McNett.
I can't find this product anywhere in the UK. Can anyone suggest a supplier or another method to fix a number of small pin holes caused by trapping the fly sheet in the tents' zip - DOH |

I managed to find this forum which suggests a supplier in Scotland.  There are lots of U.S. suppliers but probably cost more for shipping than the $5 product price. Looking for a Product called Sil Fix
or this for other products: https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/webp...electedIndex=4

Looking for a Product called Sil Fix | Thanks for this Ron, but I found it already. The posts are years old.
Astonished that no-one in the UK sells this. Wonder if its not legal in the UK for some reason??? |

On the McNett website it shows Sil Net for seams then Sil Fix for holes.
Maybe I can use the Sil Net with a swatch.
What I liked about the Sil Fix, as shown on the McNett site was that you could just apply it without a swatch |

They will probably send it but I imagine the shipping will cost more than the product. I would try and see. Better to get the product you want, and know will do the job.

Will have to get a mate in the US to send me some. Thanks for trying mate | | | |
