    Help - where’s a good place to buy DCF or poly sil patch kits?

    I am looking to buy patch kits, probably DCF or sil poly patches to save weight, and I don’t know where to look for a decent price

    Does anyone have experience using DCF patches on silPoly tarps? Are there better alternatives?

    And where should I look for patches? Any advice would be most welcome.

    These are the only sil- patches that I am aware of.

    Z packs carries DCF patches and I think Ripstop by the roll does as well.

    Although I haven't tried it, I do not think the DCF patches will adhere to sil- products.

    DCF patches will not adhere to silnylon or silpoly material/fabric.

    Nope. I tried that one on a GG pack.

    The one Countrybois linked above is the only one I've heard of, and of course it came out right after I did an ugly patch job with the liquid silicone.
