Sooner or later, campers will have to deal with accidental rips and tears in a tent as they frequently go for camping trips. Sometimes a small tear is not even noticeable, but it will get larger if left untreated. To repair a tear or a rip in a tent is actually fast and easy if one adopts heavy duty gluelss patches and follows the instructions properly. Here are the simple steps to repair a tent using glueless patches:
1. Use repair patches only in well-ventilated area. General indoor ventilation may be adequate. Optimal temperature for application is 50~104°F (10~40ºC).
2. Clean the surface of tent to be repaired thoroughly and keep dry. It is recommended to wipe off the dust and oil with 50% rubbing alcohol solution.
3. Cut out a rounded or oval-shaped glueless patch, with size at least three times larger than the tear area.
4. Peel off the backing paper of glueless patch and stick the patch to the tent surface, fully covering the tear area. Press firmly for 1 to 3 minutes to force out any air bubbles.
5. It takes 20~30 minutes for adhesive to cure. Then you can use the tent again. It is recommended to keep the patched area away from water or moisture within the first 4 hours.
