    There was a small thread that just barely touched on this topic but I have a few things to add regarding tolex durability and more importantly in my case how to repair it.

    My used Peavey TNT115 was bought with a scratch in the bag on the tolex. Soon the scratch became a tear and most recently as a result of semiweekly HS jazz band rehearsals the tear has grown considerably.

    Any ideas on a quick fix or permanent mend?

    After that, heat up a piece of wire or a knife blade and melt the edges together. Gotta be careful doing it, but it will keep them from peeling up again.

    half a dozen pieces of duct tape strategically palced is my quick fix for now but transporting in and out of a station wagon often peels back the duct tape(better the tape then the tolex).

    Keep the suggestions coming
