Looks really good can I ask what did you do to the mothing. Thats a tough one to fix, could you share the technique and does it work on Tunics, caps and shoulder boards.
I seem to remember another tread with more info but can't seem to find it.

I use this technique on all the uniforms and hats I repair.I place a transparent foil over the hole and trace it with a marker.Then I place the pattern on the material and cut out the desired fragment with small scissors.I glue the fragment in place using English glue. It is important to press the patch with a rounded object using back and forth motions after gluing.I repair items with original material. If I don't have it, I don't repair it.

I use this technique for smaller holes.

Thank you very much for the reply and information. Would you happen to know if the glues will light up under inspection with a black light.
Just curious, I've had a few items over the years that had been glued in hidden areas such as under cap liners,ect. And they glowed like something from a CSI crime scene.
Thanks again

I shone a UV flashlight on the object. I use a flashlight to search for amber on the beach at night. Neither the glue nor the repair materials illuminated.
