Repair Tips for Hot Tents - Pomoly Dan - 04-27-2022
The tent has been used for a long time, and it is usually a little damaged, such as holes in the tent, water leakage at the seam, etc. In fact, some measures can be taken to repair these problems.
If you buy a brand tent, as long as you use it carefully, the tent may not be damaged so quickly. If the tent is damaged, it may be that the tent was directly punctured by sharp objects in the camp. Therefore, when setting up the tent, you should choose a flat, with no sharp objects on the ground.
Tent holes: Repair with a repair kit or special tent repair tape.
Treat the perimeter of the hole to remove dust and grime, then apply adhesive, and finally put the repair fabric on, which is basically ready to use after a few hours.
Outer tent tear: Clean sand, mud, or debris from the torn area. Align the tear first and cut the four corners of the tent repair tape into a circle. Cut it into a round shape, it won't fall off easily after sticking. Cut the tape to the right length and stick it over the torn area. Likewise, apply tent repair tape with rounded corners to the back of the torn section. Use your hands from both sides of the tent to keep the tent repair tape firmly pressed. Just in case, you can apply waterproof tape to the tent tear, then apply silicone sealant to the inside and let it cure for 10 to 12 hours.
Cracked tent seams: Quick repair with waterproof tape first. If it is more serious, then you can use needle and thread to sew according to the original needle and thread marks, and then apply seam sealant and waterproof repair agent to the seam. You can also find a tent repair shop to repair your tent.
Tip: The waterproof coefficient of the tent may decrease after a long time of use. It is recommended to use a canopy to protect the tent when camping.
