I just purchased a 1997 Starcraft Starmaster XL that needs a few minor repairs.  Can anyone recommend a patch kit for a very tiny hole in the Aqualon canvas.  The owners manual says Aqualon is a coated polyester.  Thanks in advance for any help.

I found the answer to my own question.  After more research, the coating on the polyester is vinyl.  Aqualon is a two-ply textured polyester duck coated with a pigmented vinyl resin.  Cabela's sells a patch kit called Tear-Aid.  There are two different kits, the vinyl repair kit is called Type B.  I hope this helps other Starcraft owners who may have this same problem.
