Good tips. Thank you. One thing I've noticed with Tenacious Tape repairs is that they are flexible, but not stretchy. If a flexible and stretchy repair is needed, but one doesn't want to use Seam Grip, there is another product that works well. It's called Tear Aid. Tear Aid comes in two versions, one for vinyl (like inflatable rafts, pools, and toys) and one for cloth (like tents and waders). I learned about Tear Aid from the repair staff at Big Agnes (manufacturers of tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads). They steered me to use Tear Aid rather than Tenacious Tape, and I have used Tear Aid ever since learning about it. All three products work well, but I like the ability of Tear Aid to hold extremely well, seal completely, remain flexible, AND stretch. It's great stuff!
I would put decorator's tape on the back to hold the two sides neatly together, then cut the tape to length rounding off the corners. Peal back some of the backing paper and fold it, carefully position the tape with backing in place, press down the end with the backing pulled back to fix that end, now, slowly pull the backing away while running a ruler against the tape close to the backing to prevent any air bubbles or creases. A "warm" iron will help the chemical reaction of the adhesive. Remove decorator's tape.
Excellent video my friend, thanks for sharing, One more well, two more things we will add to our tent first aid kit, thanks and have a blessed weekend. Dale
You didn't actually follow the instructions. You're supposed to round off any corners on the tape before removing the backing. This stops the corners lifting over time.
I use Gorilla crystal clear. I got 8yrds for 8.47. Its cheaper for the amount you get and from my experience works just as good. For 8.47 I have enough to last a lifetime.
Is it necessary to apply tape to both sides of older canvas if the tear is longer, say 12"??? Thank you for a useful video. Good job. Cheers from New Zealand.
I had tent set up in backyard last night and the dog came right on thru the tent. We now have a very wide tear in our tent. Came here looking for advice. I think I will try Gorilla brand tape on both sides. Lol
I have a small cut in my berghaus air porch and in the repair kit you get a piece of match fabric , is seen grip used to stick the repair patch or is it recommended to just use the tape ? I just wanted it to look the best it can Many thanks in advance
How about if a cat jumps on the pop up canopy and it rips two sections by about 3 feet, it isn't a canvas one I can sew, will the tape hold this? I don't want to throw. It out as the frame is intact and and it is super wasteful. Or is there a better method than the tape?
What was the first tape you mentioned I'm only being honest when I say I could not hear you properly on the first tape that you did mention but gaffer tape does sound good wood gorilla tape work? Thank you kindly
Heres a tip. before trying to miraculously position ovrr a wandering split. Attached thin strips across the split so that it stays in position. Also then address to one end of the split but still an distance away and then roll into position.
@@jasonmorgan568 well for starters, round the corners of the tape, also you have to be very sure to seal the tape on the tent tightly. Also try using a combination of adhesive and tape
Imagine as soon as it gets hot in the sun to adhesive will become tacky and lose all its strength like most tapes@@jasonmorgan568 :-( Summer sun gets very hot even on tent fabric!
Wait wait wait. I can't be the only one here who has no idea what the hell he said at 1:32 when he put the tape in his mouth, right? "That is very important".... WHAT DID I MISS?!?! lol
After taking you advice I went out and bought some of this tape, it's not very good as soon as it's under any kind of tension it came away like a banana skin a waste of my time, energy and money

I was just going to add that. Always round off the corners.
Neat! I've not seen that adhesive stuff before.
I thought you have to use the seam grip with the tape. So glad I watched this video.
You guys talk so cool. Talk anyway you want to, even cottony if you wish.....nice job.
Hello I have a leaking seam in my ground sheet. Can i apply a strip of waterproof duct tape on both sides to repair it?Thank you
what could i use to repair a stitched seam on a trailer tent? apart from restitching it
1:33 Best camping advice ever !
Hilarious eh!!!
also useful in other areas of life! who knew!
😂😅😂
we have a sundowner backyard retractable awning. It has a small tear on top - will this tape be good to use or should I try anything else?
Can you also do this on a plane wing?
Hi would you tape the rip on the underside aswell? Regards Mike
I would if it was me but then it may be too clumsy lol
I use Gorilla crystal clear. I got 8yrds for 8.47. Its cheaper for the amount you get and from my experience works just as good. For 8.47 I have enough to last a lifetime.
Thanks 🙏 for the tip. I went out to Home Depot and I am camping tonight
@@Group_Anonymous Did you try Gorilla?

How is the tape call? Or where to buy it?
We use Azengear repair tape and it works great. A small piece of gear to pack for every trip.

Same issue mate.what did u do.

I love how he it he itched his nose when he said the 'tent has been damaged, in other words he cut it lol
How do you use the tape if the rip is along the seam?
Dont use this product as soon as it is under any kind of tension it peels of like a banana skin
@@jasonmorgan568 not true
So how did you manage to stop the tape the from peeling off then coz I tried two different packs and I still have a rip in my tent
@@jasonmorgan568 well for starters, round the corners of the tape, also you have to be very sure to seal the tape on the tent tightly. Also try using a combination of adhesive and tape

"That is very important".... WHAT DID I MISS?!?! lol
Pretty sure he was joking. :)
@@uber2tuber rewatching this months later and can't believe I fell for that.
Thay are fab tips for up with no men with us Lol
What is the name of this stuff and where can you get it I live in America
Gear Aid Tenacious Tape. REI, Amazon and anywhere like them will carry it.
Why didn't you round the corners of the tape?
I want to use it for beach umbrella 😅
What is this tape called
Tenacious Tape
Sounds like the teacher on the Peanuts with tape backing in his mouth, spits it out, then says- And that’s very important. Ummm
Might put some of this on my wife's gob..... Only joking!
To repair a rip or hole in a tent, try Rip Fix

After taking you advice I went out and bought some of this tape, it's not very good as soon as it's under any kind of tension it came away like a banana skin a waste of my time, energy and money
Then you either applied it wrong, 9r bought the wrong tape. It worked just fine for me
Crikey I've used the Tape to repair kit in the harshest of conditions and it was brilliant.
Not "how to mend", but "what to buy to mend"
I got too drunk and didn’t remember where I was so when I woke up I ripped a huge hole in my tent😭😭😭😭
Informative video
only if it was in English
Um um um 🙄
Who is this nitwit?
Patching is a two man job now?
That, and, "Always round your corners mate"
Horrible waving the product around so it out of focus never says the brand clearly a waste of time to watch poor video
