Cloth Shutter Patch

[k38]

I was looking at the shutter of my very nice Canon FTb. Horrors! It has a very small pinhole in the first curtain :-( I have read about using some sort of rubberish paint to patch the curtain. Does anyone have a favorite goop to use in this situation? New curtains are really a lot to do for a $50 camera. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks,

Dwight

You can get black liquid electrical tape at some hardware stores. It's flexible and light-proof. Just apply sparingly and build up as needed. Another option is black fabric paint from a crafts store. Good luck! Shouldn't be a show-stopper.
