[at-l] HELP! Fabric for patch on ULA P-1 needed.

[Mara Factor]

Woohoo!  Just got the easiest solution...  My host has a old pair of pants
she no longer wears.  They're ripstop nylon and perfect for the repair - I
think.

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions.  RockDancer, if for some reason
this doesn't work out, I may get back to you after all.

Good idea on the sailmaker stuff but none of the leads I found on-line
panned out.  But, that made me realize I could probably buy a ripstop nylon
jacket in a local market for a few bucks and use that if necessary.
