Another backpack repair, part 2
This is an update to this post.
I turned the backpack inside out to see the damage on the inside. Most of the black plastic coating was gone, and you can see the patch I applied in the outside.
I decided to coat pretty much the entire bottom with Shoe Goo sealant, like I did in my last repair. This gave the material a lot of extra stiffness, as well as waterproofing it. You can see it applied in the shinier areas: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/0ddc0be0-99bf-44f2-a0a4-69f4f9180629.webp
Here is the sealant on the inside of the biggest rip, holding the patch in place: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/a992d672-d00e-4bd7-b784-2ffe13535d63.webp
I know this update isn’t particularly visually impressive, but it felt like a pretty successful fix. I’m looking forward to being able to use this bag again!
