Shutter cloth repair

Help
My lovely old Bronica C has a "T" shaped tear in the shutter screen.I'm hoping someone knows of a product that might make a light tight repair?Replacing the screen is beyond my skills and worth more than the camera.Thanks

I hope someone can suggest something better. Other than a professional repair, the only thing I could suggest would be very sparing and careful use of Liquid Electrical Tape. It would have to be applied very carefully so as to hold, but not damage the areas of the shutter as it rolls around itself. Frankly, I don't know if it is even possible. Like I said, I hope someone has a better solution.

If not too big (so no patch needed) I would suggest black Plasti-Dip
thinned with naptha applied with small artists brush. Re-apply as
necessary.

Hi Again
Intrigued by the idea of plasti-dip I realized that at the shop I work at we'd just received a can of liquid electrical tape.Sure enough,two light applications and voila,a sealed and very flexible shutter curtain with no leaks and enough left over to touch it up for about two centuries!😀
