help with pop up blind
 

I recently purchased an Eastman Outfitters Illusion 360 hubstyle blind.

The blind has never left the living room, and in 3 times of setting it up, a tab has ripped off the black shade that covers the windows, the pull tab on one of the hubs ripped off as well.

Minor issues in themselves, but every time I set up and take down this blind the "poles" come out of the hubs and make it a huge pita to take down and put up, not something you wanna try and o dark 30.

Anyone had these issues before, and is there a fix?

Also, anyone know what the heck happened to eastman outdoors, a search of their website listed on the blind results in nothing.

help, youth season is April 4!

later,

CS

The first one I had just ripped after being set up for two days. Sent it back, got another, free. Now the second one keeps having the same problem with the hubs. Tomorrow I will clean out the hole and clean off the pole and try some 5 min. epoxy
But i love the 84x84x72 blind, plenty of room for my big butt!!
