Abstract
A papermaking fabric comprised of modular panels secured to one another by hook and loop tape fastener material or similar fastening means. The fabric can be repaired by removing therefrom a section encumbering the damage and securing in its place in overlapping relationship with the existing panels a replacement panel section which bonds to the existing fabric base by similar fastening type means. Alternatively, the fastening means may be used to join the ends of a fabric.
