Alternative to duct tape for outdoor use?

Maybe:

ROTFL!

You know that people were sewing long before the sewing machine was invented, don't you?

How about an iron on patch? You could even patch it on the hidden side so it looks better. After the patch is done, you could also spray some 3M ScotchGuard around the tear to keep it water tight longer. I have used these iron on patches on my hockey goalie pads and they work great. Been on for a year and still hangin on, even though these patches are on the inside toe area which is in constant contact with the ice.

On polyester???

Might want to go to a camping supply store and get tent patching material.

Stop by a convertible top shoe (Automotive). They have the materials that will work. You may also find them at some auto parts stores. You can use a top grade contact cement and more polyester material cut into strips.

For sail repair they make self-adhesive polyester tape. It has held up on my sails for years. It is not cheap, but you only need a few feet of it.

That's not true. They all wore togas and robes before the sewing machine was invented. One of the things Elias Howe had to do was to coin the word "sew".

ROTFL.

They sell sewing awls at Harbor Freight, for heavy material. For lighter cloth they sell needles at the fabric store and the notions department of the five and dime.

Here's a link to a patch that specifies that it will work on polyester.
