Let's see your patches!

Some of those remind me of my surgical remnants! Frankenpatch...awesome!

I will post a recent "repair" pic if I can

This is the first patch we put on trailer to cover up holes from hasp that was used to lock door during it's life out in the pasture

Some busted and MIA rivets...

Love your patches AKtundra & DFlores. Heres a couple of mine.

This thread almost makes me want a dent or damage to patch! (Almost - not really).

Beautiful work and incredibly creative!!

I wanted to cover my old furnace hole.

Odd compliment, but nice patchwork, looks intentional and nicely done.

[Stefrobrts]

I'm so disappointed in my square patch I put over my old heater vent. Why didn't I do something creative?!

Seriously, you guys have some awesome patches!

Had a few ugly holes from PO, no idea what they were for. They had been filled with silicone (each hole the size of a nickel).

Decided to support my home team, even though We're in San Diego now, I was raised in Seattle.

The logo is only on temporarily until I finish the polish job and then it will be permanently with some 3M adhesive tape.

Love it (and I'm a Pats fan)!!!

Go Seahawks. I have some little areas where the PO had mounted a Tv antenna. Copying you

[shilgemann]

Thanks Glamper Girl. I checked out your FB page, you're making great progress.

[thumbelinadj]

Oh thanks. I have no idea what I am doing and I make no claim to nor do I hand out advice. I just report what mistakes I have made. It's been good. The support from the forum has made me get as far as I have.

I have all the shaped segments for the entire end. All I need is to get to the point that I can install them. For now the Frankenpatch end of the trailer points away from the house and out of sight.

Oh wow. That looks like my attempts at Drywall.

What type of aluminum do you guys use for patches??

[shilgemann]

2024 T3 aircraft grade. I live close enough to drive to aircraft spruce to pick up 4x8 sheets. You can mail order smaller pieces but shipping is about the same or more as the aluminum.

My contribution.

Beautiful work!!

[okgypsy]

Awesome!

My son & daughter-in-law are working hard on their restoration of a 1984 Avion 30P. After removing some unnecessary cable ports/phone ports, he was left with two big holes. Well, this Nana has told stories around the campfire with "Hootie" the superhero as the main character. He rescues all the children from some peril (bears, raccoons, drowning, you get the picture!). He always yells "Hoot, hoot hootie, I'm gonna save your bootie!" before saving them, lol! I have told stories to all the kids & now my grandkids for 30 years. So what better character for their trailer than Hootie?? I put together this patch for them. I hope my little granddaughter will love it!
