How to repair DSS wing?

[Chous]

Hi!
I'm using DSS wing and very happy with it. But unfotunatly i'd made some damage on it. Inner camera is ok and wind 100% working, but on outside material is damage. The hole become bigger and bigger.
What can you reccomend?

Not much I can recommend for a field repair. To get the 1050 ballistic nylon to fail requires something well out of the ordinary.

It's probably possible to sew a path over the hole, but to do it correctly we would need to have the wing returned.

Well, it's almost impossible to send wing to US. Big money for double shipping and several months to wait and no dive all this time...

If i can find 1050 ballistic nylon in Russia, how is better to stick it and what glue (or something else) i shell use?

There is no glue I can recommend, sorry. The only repair I can recommend involves sewing and that requires disassembly of the wing and commercial sewing equipment. I'd suggest packing the wing without the corrugated hose and power inflator for shipment via the Mail.

We turn repairs around in a day or two. Express mail from the US to you is about 2 weeks.
