Well I've finally got the smell of smoke out of our kit I think, however I've found che has snagged one of the legs on his trews 
I managed to rip the posterior area 
how glad am I that I wore dark thermals on saturday thankfully mines literally the stiching has come undone so minimal to repair 
Anyways am sure someone mentioned on here using the wonderweb stuff to attach their insignia using it, so I'm just wondering how well it has bonded ? Thankfully the hole will be covered by his jack boots/assault boots an gaitors however to prevent it from getting any worse I want to reenforce the wool fabric before I herman munster it with the sewing maching, and I thought I may use fabric bonding type stuff between the wool and whatever I choose to use as the hidden patch.
So if anyone can help TA
I used copydex and a small bit of cotton to patch a hole in my M36 jacket after Arnhem . It's still there now , and it hides the repair better than stitching.
Thats exaclty how i repaired my old battledress, small patch of serge copydexed under the rip
