    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.

    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.

    Boot Sole Tip

    TRUE OR FALSE? Campfires cause boot sole delaminations? True. Sitting at the campfire with your feet towards the fire may make you comfortably warm, but your boot soles could be close to melting. This can easily cause failure of the sole’s glue bond. If your boot soles are peeling, use Freesole® Urethane Adhesive for a permanent fix.
