Reinforcing the wall side of a portaledge

I got some fabric fuzz on the wall side of my portaledge. Nothing bad so far, but I don't want it to get much worse.

What is the best way to reinforce the wall side of the bed?

I'm thinking gorilla tape or plastidip, or even tenacious tape. What lasted the longest for you? 

A couple layers of Gorillia tape will last a few walls. I wouldn’t put any more effort into it than that.

That's it. You're not going to get a better answer. Maybe more complex and sexy answers, but not better.

Certainly not a Fish ledge because those suckers are tanks. 

The fuzzing is on the bed fabric on a BD double cliff cabana.

That looks like a ballistic cloth scuff guard... Well scuffed up like that will take plastidip real well.  When ballistic cloth is new, plastidip will not really stick to the fabric.  I would trim the big frays, carefully and lightly run a torch over the surface real quick to keep it from fraying any further and then plastidip it.  You can also lightly sand the good fabric to expose a few fibers larger than the wound area and coat that too.  Hard to say whether you want the dip or the spray, but maybe both.  Dip for the main wear and then spray the periphery.  Do it when the ledge is set up as you don't want the bed getting any smaller due to shrinkage.

As to tape... shit turns to a mess in the heat.  You can always tape it later if the above somehow does not work out for you.

I stand corrected.

When someone used my fish with the wrong side against the wall, they did some serious damage. I took it to a sail maker and she sewed a strip of very tough material the length of ledge. This has worked well.
However, wear on the fly is a bit more important. I note that one manufacturer has stumpy legs on their ledge that stick through the fly to help solve this.

Wow!  Thanks for the very detailed instructions, Russ.  From your answer, I guess it's safe to conclude that Plastidip would also be the best way to protect a brand new ledge before any fuzzing occurs.  Gorilla Tape is obviously much faster to apply and replace so I can also see why many would prefer to go with that solution.

Ledges normally have additional/tougher fabric added to the "wall side" precisely because the expectation is that the rock will play havok with the fabric. 

A ledge can certainly be flipped around if issues arise while on a route, but this is a quick and dirty fix that will shorten the overall life of the fabric and thus the ledge by damaging both lateral sides of fabric. 

My buddy put several layers of Gorilla tape on his ledge, which he has used for around 30 nights and it is holding up well. He put it on when it was new, before any damage took place. Having spend 10 of the nights on that ledge I think it looks and works well.
