Patching a tent question?

[splakeshaker]

I pulled the porty (Trap Guide) out to check it over yesterday. Mice got into it and chewed the tent up. I have probably 8-10 holes in it. Hole sizes from 1/2inch to 1.5inches. Checked Clams HSOforum and they sell patches. An 8x8 square. They don't sell an adhesive to apply the patches with. Question is what to use for adhesive or has anyone gone a different route to repair damage? I'm open to suggestions. I have some gorilla tape at home and thought about just using that but doubt it'll hold up with moisture coming and going. Maybe I should go to a camping store and see what they recommend. REI might be a good place to start.

Iron on patches work great

Order the patch material from clam, then go to a fabric store and get some tear mender, it is a glue that works great.

Thanks for the ideas. I should be alright from here. I'm just gonna use some fabric glue and I have canvas that should take care of the problem.

I've used the iron on patches on both sides of the hole and that seems to hold up very well.

I used the Tear Mender once a few years ago and it is still doing well.

Where do you get the tear mender?

HH66 is what I use to patch commercial grade tents for my rental company.

My wife went to the hardware store and bought some tear mender. I have an old clam 2000 that is out of commission so I'll just take some fabric off of that and patch myself up. Thanks for all the ideas. Many good ones to choose from but from the cost and method standpoint, I think this one serves me best. If it doesn't work out I'll take over to granite gear and they would probably help me out.

KG243,

Try Handcock fabrics.

This is the stuff that Canvas Craft sent out with my patching material. I fixed about 30 mouse holes with this glue and it was very easy and seems to hold real great. I have found it at L & M but I think you should be able to find at any hardware store.

My wife picked it up at Tru Value
