Have a tear in the fabric. What are you guys patching it with? Fishn 'Ol has a patch but comes with no adhesive. I have been told to find an iron on patch from fabric land?

I would just find a piece of matching fabric and glue it on using Seam Seal on the outside of the fabric. The black coating on the inside may be susceptible to to the solvents in most adhesives (my ice cube was). Run a bead of seam seal around the outside of the patch with your finger and along the inside of the tear. Ive done the bottom of my Msr hubba hubba tent this way and haven't had it leak yet.

Fabric Land says they have an outdoor patch. It just presses on no glue needed but I have my doubts. However I am going to go and grab a few and see if it works. At the least it will get me through tomorrow.
