Fix Netting

Your torn netting can be functional once again.


Netting is designed to have the same size holes throughout. Even one enlarged hole from a tear in some types of netting can make it virtually unusable for its designated purpose. For example, if you are using mosquito netting in the wilderness, the pesky insects will quickly locate a larger hole in the netting and start invading your space. Before this can happen, there is a simple, effective method that you can use to fix the netting so that it becomes perfectly functional once again. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Cut a piece of fabric that is about half an inch larger than the damage to the net.


2. Flip the net over and place the fabric over the tear or hole.


3. Place masking tape around the fabric to secure it to the net. Never use duct tape for this purpose. It's too sticky.


4. Turn the net back over and apply seam sealer adhesive all over the fabric piece. Use a generous amount.


5. Let the seam sealer adhesive dry for about 2 full days.


6. Remove the masking tape. The fabric will be bound to the net and the hole will be repaired.
