Lappesæt

Lappesæt is a Danish term that refers to a kit of patches and related tools used to mend damaged material. The word is formed from lappe, meaning patch, and sæt, meaning set. In Danish and related Nordic usage, lappesæt can denote different kinds of repair kits, with contents tailored to the material and task at hand.

In textiles and clothing, a lappesæt typically includes fabric patches, sometimes fusible interfacing or heat-activated adhesive, thread, needle, scissors, and marking chalk. Some sets include an iron or heat source for applying patches. These kits are used to repair holes, tears, or worn areas and can be sewn on or ironed on, depending on the patch type.

In outdoor gear, tents, sails, upholstery, or canvas items, lappesæt variants exist with larger patches, stronger fabrics, and sometimes adhesive backing to reinforce or cover damaged sections. They serve as practical means to extend the life of gear and equipment in the field or workshop.

In the context of tires and tubes, lappesæt can denote tire patch kits used for puncture repair. Such sets typically contain patches, an adhesive or cement, a patching tool, and sometimes a patch roller or tire boot for temporary repairs on inner tubes or tubeless setups.

Contents and complexity vary by intended use and region. When choosing a lappesæt, one should consider the material, the type of damage, and whether heat-activated patches are suitable for the application.
