Morning all . Have any of the regular trike flyers ever used a product called gripflex or something similar to seal sail fabric which has aged ?

If this works, I would be keen to use it to put the black back in my leading edge...the black seems a little faded :(

Please keep us informed -0<

Well Peter Westermen who is extremely experienced and knowledgeable said that it works very well and that I should look at using it. I have some other ideas I'm looking to bounce off someone who has used it. Like application by spraying or other means ect. But I will add my learning after experimenting with it which will only be in a few month though.
