View Full Version : Tarp improvement
I would like to add some attachment loops to a 3m x 4m tarp that i have. Does anyone know where you can get the stuff to do this the waterproofing etc etc??
Cheers,
Ash
If they are gonna be in the corners of the tarp, I wouldn't really bother. If they are gonna be in the middle along the ridgeline, then it will need doing. What sort of tarp have you got and what do you want the finish to look like? You could use silicone sealant, but it won't look nice!

I added loops on the middle of the 4m edge on both sides and did not bother waterproofing then as they were on the edge.
Cool i would like to put them on the ridge line, the finish dosnt really matter and i thought about silicone so to minds have now thought it, must be the way go!
Cheers chaps
If you really want to waterproof the stitchings find someone selling the stuff to repair cagoules. There's paint on glue, iron on tape or patches, and powder that is sprinkled and covered with cloth and then ironed over the seams. They all work, but best to make sure you are sold the glue appropriate to the fabric your tarp is made from.
