Do you think Gorilla Tape would be suitable for patching small (1' x 1") holes is canvas and nylon tents? What about tears up to a foot long?

For the most part yes. The only time is doesn't really work and would make me a little nervous is if you're around salt water. The tape doesn't adhere to surfaces with salt water or salty air (ie next to oceans, etc) very well.

I don't think so. I think it would stay a little bit sticky for several days and make a mess of your tent. Sewing a patch on would work better.

The purpose of this tape is to give you a good grip.I sure it could work for monkey bars,but the question would be how]w long would it last.You would have to tape the beginning and the ends with electrical tape to keep the ends from unraveling

I believe that the piece of tape is 18'' long by 3'' wide. I have used it to repair outdoor pants and it holds up wash after wash. I like the dark earth, but the green is excellent as well. If you have to remove it there is no sticky residue either. Best tape on the market. It will work on load bearing areas as well.

These are used as anchor points in fabric, where one would attach string, rope, or bungee cord hooks. The grommets prevent the tearing that would result from just simply making a hole in the fabric. These can be used with screen material, plastic, canvas, or tarpaulin materials. Any kind of pliable fabric that you want to suspend or drape over something, yet have it held in place and not tear the anchor points easily. I used mine to create anchor points on "space blanket" material (aluminized Mylar).

Any type of Velcro material with adhesive will not stand up to any kind of stress for long. If the fabric glue you plan to use is reliable, you would still need to use some kind of agent to remove the glue from the Velcro before applying it. The strength of the bond between fabric glue applied to the glue on the Velcro strip would only be as strong as that of the Velcro glue to the Velcro, which is not durable. Sorry. You are better off getting non-adhesive Velcro. Using an awl stitcher to sew on Velcro to fabric will provide the durability you seek.

The one I got I used for making eyelet holes in heavy tent canvas. The one I got would not come close to making a hole that large.

I would say yes, the second time I used the tape was for cargo pants that are too long for me. It held up great, just have to watch the seams, I wouldn't put the tape directly on them.

I'm not sure why I was referred to this question as I do not use Gorilla glue, for outdoors/wet environments/non porous applications I recommend a two part epoxy adhesive and for porous/indoor (wood furniture, etc) yellow carpenters glue.

No. Nothing sticks that is why I use parchment.. Haven't tried Gorilla Duct tape.

Some tents come pre-sealed with waterproof tape or coating along the seams. This one does not. While it is pretty water tight, performance can be improved by taping seams with material made for this purpose, or brushing or spraying sealant made for this purpose on the seams. Tent seam sealants and/or tapes are available at most camping supply stores and online.

It looks to me that a strip of Velcro would do. That is what I am going to try.

Hello stacer26, Honestly I have not used Gorilla Tape in an outdoor setting where it would be exposed to rain. It is extremely strong tape. Wish I could be of more help. Sincerely, Steve

Sure, it could be an adequate ground tarp. It can do anything a cheaper tarp can do. But it seems a little pricey to drag through the mud.When I need a ground cloth under a tent, I prefer to buy the kind of plastic sheeting you'd use as a drop cloth (when painting and remodelling), then cut it to size (slightly smaller than the footprint of the tent). That works perfectly, and costs only a few bucks.

First, this is a flat webbing. I used this to repair computer backpack bag Shoulder strap because of strap width and matched material. Nylon webbing stretches, poly does not stretch or compress like nylon material. Try either a slim, narrow gauge bungee cord ... If you are looking for webbing across a pack which my computer bag has.

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.

Yes. but I would definitely use a patch for extra strengh. If it's a tear try and patch inside and out. Good Luck.
