Tent Hole Repairs

Step 1:
Seam Grip® permanently repairs common pinholes and tears in the tent floor. Apply just enough Seam Grip to cover the hole and spread 1/4” (5mm) beyond. Allow to dry level overnight. For 2 hour cure time, mix Seam Grip with Cotol-240™ before applying.

Step 2:
The Field Repair Kit includes both adhesive and patches. To use the tent immediately, simply cover the pinhole with a Tenacious™ Brand Clean Tape™ peel-and-stick patch.
-
Step 3:
For larger holes and tears, use a patch as a backing then apply Seam Grip. Remove patch in a few days when the Seam Grip has fully cured.

Step 4:
Keep the bugs out!
Tenacious Brand Clean Tape provides a quick in-field repair to torn mosquito netting until a more permanent repair can be made. Remember to round the corners of your patch. Patches with curved edges are less likely to come off accidentally.
