Cam webbing - reinforce or replace?

The webbing on one of my cams is getting a little sketchy. Do you think it's better to send it in to get it replaced or to reinforce it with something (such as a shoestring?)? In the case of sending it in, where would I send it?

Webbing is really strong, they are probably fine.

duct tape works well, you can't see the wear and then you forget it's there.

Band-aids. Just make sure you get the fabric ones cause the plasic or off brand strips fail at about 2KN.

Attention: you can get all slings resown by Marginal Goods. you can also get other handiwork done, like extra gear loops sewn to the harness, cold weather climbing shoes, etc. pm batguano for details.

Just use some of that really long rope licorice. Make sure you double it up and that it is red.
If you can't find any of that, contact whoever manufactured the cam and see if they can re-sling it.

James Bond would use shoestring.
