Henry, shouldn't that be "Replicator, 2 hot toddys"?!
Thanks for a laugh.

Hi Tracy,

I split the knee on my jeans this summer and I bought a butterfly patch from Amazon as you described. I used a regular iron on patch on the inside to reinforce it but then I use the butterfly patch to cover the hole on the outside.
