I need to repair some fairly large tears a wombat made trying to break into our Zempire pronto tent. He went through both the polyester and the mesh. Will this product be suitable for both layers?
G'day Sarah,
Wombats can be crazy, we've heard a few stories lately of wombats damaging tents.
This repair tape will be one of the best options, outside of getting the tent professionally patched.
You'll want to make sure you're double layering the repair tape - both inside and outside of the fabric.
I have an older RV4 and the seam sealing tape is lifting in quite a few areas, would this be suitable to repair or would something like gear aid seam grip be better?
G'day Danielle,
We would recommend Gear Aid Seam Grip WP Sealer & Adhesive to re-seal the seams on your RV-4 tent. We have a video on How to Re-Waterproof Your Tent where Lauren explains how to re-seal your tent seams with this product!
G'day Snowys, I have a 12cm (L) by 5cm (W) tear in one of the arms of my Quest Air 8 tent. Do you think this would do the trick? Would you try and patch inside and outside of tube?
G'day David,
If the tear is only on the outside fabric part of the tube, and not the air tube itself then this would work. It is best to patch the inside and outside of the tear for the best repair.
I am wondering if I should be using this Type A repair kit or would a Type B be better for a Black Wolf tent floor? The information seems to indicate Type A is good for more applications. I am reading into this the Type A will be tough enough. Your advice would be most welcome.
G'day Jon,
The Type A Repair Tape will do the trick. Type B will be a bit overkill for your Black Wolf Tent Floor.
Hey, I’m just about to run out of my first batch of tear aid. I notice Gear Aid is quite the popular brand as well... are they technically the same? Cheers
G'day Larissa,
They're pretty similar to be honest, with both brands being fairly popular. Personally, I tend to use the Gear Aid tape, but the Type A Tear Aid Tape, and the Gear Aid Tenacious Tape are very similar and will do a very similar job.
hi. are these small patches, or is it a roll?
G'day Connie,
There are a few patches in the packet of varying size, have a look under the external dimension section for the size of each piece.
The description mentions that these are great for repairing “on the go”. Does that mean that these are not a permanent solution and something else is recommended instead? I have a zempire aero tl lite with a 0.5cm hole
G'day Murray,
The Type A Repair Tape is 'on the go' in terms of being an instant fix, that doesn't require waiting for glue to set etc. The Tape is a semi-permanent solution that should last for a number of years when applied well.
We have strong winds at times
G'day Ernest,
The Tear-Aid Type A Repair Tape is generally designed for solid fabrics as it has an adhesive backing. We'd probably suggest a Tent Repair Kit that has some screening material you can stitch in, or grabbing some shade cloth from a local hardware store and stitching in a patch.
Will this work with the Black Wolf cotton canvas tents?
G'day Aaron,
The Tear-Aid Type A Fabric Repair Tape is one of our most popular go-to solutions for canvas/ cotton canvas repair. They're exceptionally strong and should adhere instantly to the chosen surface.
