HELP! Hi Guys n Gals, I need your help please.:confused:
At Middlewood a lovely branch decided it had had enough hanging on to its tree and let go to fall, no problem, but my tarp was under it.
Result was a lovely fist size hole in my Tatonka TC Tarp 4.:yikes:
Waylander has pointed me in the direction of Tanascious (spelling?) tape. But I thought I would throw the idea out to you knowing folk on the best way to repair the damage.
I know I could patch it and perhaps use a wetsuit sealant with this, but anyone done this before with good results?
Ideas please.

Cheers lannyman8, I did, but found no results.
I thought it may have been discussed previously but could not find it on a search, if someone can pull the thread up it would be appreciated.

I'd sew it and seam seal it.It worked when I had burn holes in a poly tarp,I darned the holes first to ensure the tarp stayed the same shape without any puckering and then sealed one side,waited until it was dry and then sealed the other side.No leaks and no weakness in the material.

I am thinking of patching it, I am a wizz on the sewing machine so thought this would work well.
Perhaps patch the underside then seal the outer or even patch both sides and seam seal them.
I was just asking for ideas if anyone had acctually done this with a TC tarp, before I set about it.
I will see what is on the thread tomorrow and then have a go over the weekend.
But thanks for the replies so far and in advance of any more.
