Nice work, I now plan to try and repair a couple of my flat nets.

You mentioned doing some research to find it a simple process. Do you have a link to recommend as best to see/learn the process as you did?

Thanks

Wow, I'm impressed! I could never find net replacements so attempted to mend what I could w dental floss and zip ties (not recommended!). Thanks for report. I'd also be interested in links you used.

You have to watch it again and again and pay attention to what he's doing. He's kind of hard to understand due to the accent and all but study it and you should be able to figure it out. It's really not that complicated at all, you just need a simple cheap tool. You can get a net needle for like...$ 5 bucks or a pack of them for 10 or 15 bucks on amazon. You could even make your own...

Thanks for the video. You're right, you have to watch it several times because of the speed.

Spent 3 years stationed just down the road from where they are at, so I can actually understand the broad Yorkshire accent he has.
