    I hauled auto glass in a curtain sider, racks of them loaded through the doors and then open side curtains inside GM straight to the assembly line.

    Curtain is at home now. Waiting on title work to come on.

    I've got all day tomorrow to fix straps and patch little tears and hopefully I can plate it Wednesday and load Thursday!!!

    First thing tomorrow I'll get you some fresh pics of my old curtainside.

    Maybe some of you guys can give advice on how to go about patches, etc

    Always clean your tarp and dry with a CLEAN CLOTH. I use acetone such as https://www.walmart.com/ip/Klean-Strip-Acetone-Quart/17208793 for cleaning but don't let it sit on the tarp for more than 5 minutes.

    this is the glue I use to attach rounded corner patches and try to use pressure to insure good adhesion I use a narrow wheeled roller https://www.amazon.ca/Repair-Stitch-Roller-Puncture-Handle/dp/B01FQPYOA0
    with a 3/4 inch plywood backing.
