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.

Repairing Mosquito Netting
Cut the Tenacious Tape to the desired size and shape. Remember to round the corners of your patch. Patches with rounded edges are less likely to come off accidentally. Make tent netting taunt by zipping closed to an assembled tent. Un-zip a small area, just large enough for your hand to go through.
-
Remove backing paper and place patch over repair area. Apply pressure to the patch with fingers. Start at the center of the patch then work out to the edges to avoid bubbles.
