Repairing a 2ft tear in my Mertailor Spellbound mermaid tail

I am no expert, but this is the process I followed to repair a 2 foot tear on the seam of my mertailor spellbound named Murigen. I learned a lot and I am grateful to have some new skills under my belt. I think learning to care for our equipment is one of the most important parts of being a professional mermaid. Reduce, repair, reuse, recycle - and that goes for all of our costuming as well, I think!
I can't wait to perform in Murigen once again next Sunday, April 21st at @discoveryworldmke with shows at 11 and 12:30. She has been out of commission since December 2023!
Below is the list of materials I used. If you have any questions, let me know I would love to answer them!
🛠️ headlamp
🛠️ mineral spirits
🛠️ pool noodle
🛠️ rags
🛠️ pliers
🛠️ mica powder
🛠️ rubbing alcohol
🛠️ Fireline
🛠️ curved needle
🛠️ Silpoxy
🛠️ PPE (gloves, mask)
🛠️ mixing cups
🛠️ popsicle sticks
🛠️ pins
Big thanks to @mermaidmagnolia @mermaidmezzie and @crowcaw_fx for your advice and guidance through this process!

Excellent job with repair and video! No worries about the music. Your voice is loud enough to hear and understand everything. Well done!🎉

I am sorry the music levels are not very well mixed
