Thanks If you rather not go the thread/ needle route, there's lots of options IMHO. Anything from Eclectic Products will work in weather. The chemist tells me that for exterior use, go with the Marine Goop since it has a UV protectant added. If it's available in your store, I'd go with that since it's only going to be .50 cents difference in price. Also, Any of the rubberized caulking tubes will work very well and has UV additive. There will be plenty left over for gutter seams or household repairs too. Last edited by Happy_Camper; 01/09/22.

I had an old Boy Scout wall tent that had several holes and rips, which was easily repaired with S-18: Before repair - cleaned with paint thinner: After repair: l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right. - Del Gue
