Thanks Connie. I have their catalog, and that was the first place I looked, but didn't find anything that exactly fit the bill. They sell replacement sail letters that are adhesive backed, but even they have to be stitched afterwards. I think I'll try that aircraft adhesive that Clarence (I think?) advised, if I can find that e-mail again. Larry Yake On Mon, 18 Apr 2005 10:50:25 -0400 chbenneck@juno.com writes:
Hi Larry,
Call
SAILRITE 1-800-348-2769 305 West Van Buren Street PO Box 987 Columbus City, IN 46725
and get their catalog.
They supply everything you need for sail building - they supply you with a complete sail building kit; - sail maintenance and sail repair, as well as tools, hardware and accessories.
If you haven't heard of them, they are as important to know for sail "stuff" as a WEST catalog is for equipment.
Connie

Larry, In the graphic design shop at Boeing, we used double-backed adhesive sheets that we affectionately called 'double nothing'. We used it for mounting letters on signs and attaching various printed material to foam core and plex. The stuff--although tricky to work with--would create a permanent bond. Essentualy, it was a layer of adhesive between to sheets of waxy paper. We would strip one side off and apply it to whatever we wanted to have mounted. Then gradually strip the other side as the material was laid and squeegied to the substrate. The stuff came in rolls of various lengths. I think that any frame shop would have it. We would use spray adhesive from time to time, but it was never permanent. It always peeled at the edges. --Bob Larry E Yake wrote:

What about double sided indoor/outdoor carpet tape. You use it to make blue tarp sails for homebuilts. It's available at Lowe's and comparable stores. Works good on tarp sails. Goes on like Larry's "double nothing."

Be careful, some of that Carpet tape doesn't last very long. Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewis Baumstark" <lbaum@preferred.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 4:47 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Sail repairs
