I'm looking for good tarp repair tape. I have a small cut in the bottom of my tent. Is this the best product for that repair?

I think that this should work well for this repair. Even if it is on the bottom where water repellent is important. This has worked very well on my rain fly

There may be a better product out there but this tape will work well to repair tarps or tents.

I used it to repair a cut in my new snow pants and for the whole season it didn't look like it was peeling off. It also didn't leak any water since I use the pants for ice fishing and drilled more than enough holes. I think it would do fine for a tarp repair but you might want to take both sides instead of one.

Where is the rip? In an obvious location? You could use this patch but I think it would be obvious depending on the location of the rip. I used it to patch a hole in the knee of my son's school uniform sweatpants. I put it on the outside. It has endured lots of "playtime" and washings, so once it's on - I don't think you can peel it off. It's stuck on there pretty darn good.

You can get the tarp at Walmart for $3 and painters tape for $2. Don't need the kit. FYI, I tried this product and was disappointed. It left thick spots and didn't spread evenly. When I let it cure for 2 days, I tried to remove it but it was not easy. Took it back for a refund.

We just used a liquid sealant from the sporting goods store. Coghlan's Tent Seam Sealer

Yes. All tents require you to purchase a tent. And even if they say you dont need to buy one, I would highly recommend buying one. You want to be sure that the tarp is just slightly larger than the tent but not oversized. There are several reasons you would want to put a tarp under your tent. First off, it prevents water from getting under your tent. This cuts down on mold and mildew which you never want on any of your camping gear. Secondly, it provides a layer of protection from the ground at night when it cools down. Lastly, extend the tarp out in the front of the door. This way you can take off your shoes/boots at the door and not track all that into your tent. Yes. All tents require you to purchase a tent.

Go to HomeDepot. Go to where they sell Duct-tape. Get the aluminum tape for outdoor use. It looks shiny silver roll of tape. I get the one with the highest temperature outdoor tolerance. When you get back at your trailer, clean the surrounding area really well with some dishwashing soap and water. Dry it really well. Take some rubbing alcohol with some paper towel and wipe the area lightly. Don't need to rub it. This will make sure there are no greasy area left. Take the aluminum tape and cut a piece big enough to cover the hole. Take the backing paper off and apply it over the hole starting from one edge of the tape, pressing and rubbing the tape as you move slowly over the hole with the tape. Do not apply pressure over the hole with the tape just go around the hole. You don't want to puncture a hole through the tape over the drilled hole. After you are done, put a bead around the edge of the aluminum tape with the Dicor rubber sealant. This will prevent any moisture later on to be creeping under the aluminum tape. If you can see the hole inside the trailer, you can put some clear silicone caulking sealant in the hole and wipe it smoothly and level with the ceiling. Save the aluminum tape and sealants. You might need it in the future for any other roof repairs. I check and inspect my trailer roof every so often throughout the year especially before winter and before the rainy season for any possible leak potentials. I hope this helps. Happy camping!!

It comes with a couple of peal and stick 1" patches. Should do the trick in a pinch. Duct tape would probably work as well. I usually keep some wrapped around my hiking poles.

If you are using the Coleman Sundome tent, you wont have to worry about the floor because its s plastic type floor almost like a tarp. Trust me on thst cause I was in a "monsoon" my first trip out and with high winds and my tent stayed bone dry. Still, put a tarp under it. As far as the seams, there is a rainfly which protects but if you are really concerned, get a larger tarp and use that like I did for an extra rainfly. Supposedly, though, this tent wont need it but all my friends were getting tarps for their tents and told me to do the same so I did. If you still wish to seal the seams, i would contact the Coleman company directly and ask. Putting snything on it might interfere with what is already in the material.

Did you try the patch kit? In the instructions it also says you can use duct tape for a temporary fix.

I bought this item and the tape is black. It adheres best to itself so it works better if you can wrap it around something. It may stick to a tarp or tent, but I don't find it to be very sticky. I was attempting to use it on drop ceiling tiles

Absolutely! This tarp is highly adaptable to many situations, and it could serve very well as a rain fly over tents of many different designs due to its many tie-down spots. I don't think you's have any water leakage problems with it, either. Good luck and have fun! Tom

Charles, the black cloth backed Gorilla tape would be better where the tare is under stress. The clear tape should work on a small tare (2-3") long. In either case clean the area with alcohol or water and let dry. After application press the tape down firmly with a roller if possible. I hope you can repair your awning. Happy RVing !

I was able to cut the patch to a desired size and shape and then remove backing before applying it. The adhesive was super strong and the tape was not at all stiff once the backing was removed. Once removing the backing you need to handle it very carefully as it's it's extremely floppy. It can fold over and stick to itself. You wouldn't want it to be any different. Such characteristics are what make for a truly great repair.

I used Gorilla Clear Repair on an RV storage cover that had been torn by high winds. The tape has a good adhesive...unlike another product that was sold specifically for RV awnings. So far, it is working.

This is almost like a really thick piece of tape. I ended up using a sheet metal cutter to cut the length. A heavy duty scissor should work too. Just clean the surface and apply firmly, making sure there are no air gaps. I applied the tape to the outside of the gutter, and then used sealant inside the gutter to cover the hole (attached link). The tape acted as a surface where I could apply the sealant. I have gotten no leaks since. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006B6818/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Too expensive to order one from Shelter Logic, it is actually cheaper to buy a complete new unit from PepBoys. Best bet is to go to local farm supply or Tek Supply and order a tarp with grommets. Make sure you leave ample space between the tarp and frame, usually 4-6" for the bungee cords.

I would contact browning. A floor liner should come with the tent. Mine came without one. They shipped the floor saver in one week. Honestly, I don't think this tent needs a footprint. But a 12x12 blue tarp would work well for cheap.
