Canvas Repair

[qyouquestion]

Hi Everyone, this isn’t major damage yet!!!!!!
I don’t want it to get any worse so if anyone could make any suggestions
I’d be grateful.
As you can see from pics there is a very small tear on the corner of the canvas which I’d like to stop getting any worse???
Any idea’s

It does look like a difficult spot but I believe some tear aid should be able to stop it deteriorating further, its available in the club shop I think.

I use a 3" piece of TearAid on the outside and inside. In fact I did it on both front corners. The TearAid is stretchy and can be stretched around the corner.

It wouldn't be tear aid would it

Temporary fix would be tear aid but that won´t heal it.
New bellows needed there to make your van a minter.

You could take it off and take it to a sail maker/tent repairer who will fix it and reinforce it in other areas but once you've taken it off and paid for that and given it's probably going to go somewhere else in a year or two then a new canvas might be a better idea.

But unless the van is a real minter/pride and joy etc I'd save your money, patch up and carry on caming.

I love my Cali only have Canvas up in blistering heat the rest of the canvas is in good shape so I’ll patch it up.
