Thanks all. I'm getting some ideas that sound reasonable. I may have to try to find a spot on the bag that would be out of sight and try some of the materials mentioned. I'm kind of liking the thinned silicone idea for something I could apply and forget. It would have the advantage of not getting lost or another thing to find when setting camp. The down side and it might or might not be a biggie is how the fabric might react to the thinner/silicone. I'm not sure what material is involved but some of the super light synthetics are touchy about solvents, etc. Maybe just a small touch of something to test is in order. I hate to be the guy that finds out he just glued a hole in his bag or pad. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
