Re: Patches on bags? To glue or sew?

I`ve always glued stuff , have stuck cloth patches on leather motorbike jacket with Evo stick contact adhesive.
Put some on patch and some on whatever you want to stick it to and allow to be touch dry, then press together, and hold them for a bit.
And I can`t sew.

Electronic rat trap with peanut butter bait. Had a few under my floor recently. Found they had been coming in through a redundant drain. After blocking it up, I now had the problem of trapped rats trying to gnaw their way to freedom. Tried baited normal traps which they just ignored. Electronic one...

No food source at all only tents taprs and tyvek!! Make sure they're well out of the way - they'll happily eat those.

I do feel a little guilty because I dont think it has done any damage, but the weather is perking up and a dusty shed is no place for a rat in the spring.

Don't do what a friend did when he was at college in a flat. He decided to shoot the rat. So he got an air rifle. Unfortunately he wasn't a good shot, in fact he was an awful shot. The rat would run back and forth whilst he tried to kill it. His shots did find a target: the water pipes behind the p...

This, they are tenacious as hell. In our last house the best solution was to encourage the local fox.
