McNett Tenacious Tape Fabric and Seam Repair

A recent camping trip in storm conditions left us with an F shaped rip in our Vango tent. Apart from already compromising the structure the way it ripped meant it was only going to get worse and tear further.Product was delivered promptly. Instructions are simple but cover what you need. Tape is easy to peel off the backing, backing has a graph paper grid for easy sizing and cutting. Lined up the ripped pieces and applied tape, flipped it over and did the other side for good measure. Really good adhesion, easy to rub out air bubbles and on the inner its barely visible, slightly more visible on the darker outside colour but still fine. You can see its been repaired but its not obvious. Very strong bonding across the whole area, the damaged areas are now stronger than the surrounding material. Its also flexible so on tent fabric it still moves and folds without being too stiff. IdealVery good product, only thing to be aware of, its not even a criticism as the size is in the description. You don't get much in a pack - our rip was in an F shape 15cm on the long end by 12cm. One pack was enough to comfortably cover this on both sides of the canvas, but that was it. All used now. If you need to cover a larger area you may need multiple packsVery pleased with the result and will buy again if we have any more damage to the tent

We had storm damage to the tent after our last trip, the clips and Velcro that clip the tent to the pole on the outside had ripped out of the seams in high winds leaving some small tears to the seams. With a bit of careful sewing and investing in this tape to complete the job and make sure it is watertight we're pretty happy with the results and ready for some autumn camping! It was easy to use and adheres well, just a shame that we got through the whole packet! It doesn't go very far. I would definitely get another for the emergency repair kit!

Having a gorgeous doberman puppy, I thought it was time I booted myself out with all the latest walking gear - like you see walkers wearing on television programmes and adverts. So I went ahead and sorted myself out with expensive clothing and boots. Then a problem occurred. While in a hurry to unzip my pocket to get the doggy poo bags out, the inside of the pocket became caught in the zip. Needless to say, lots of pulling ensued followed by the need for scissors. I was devastated and left with a chunk of the material of my coat missing from inside the pocket. I searched on Amazon and found this little beauty. Let me tell you it WORKS! It's not very often you buy things these days that actually work as described. I cut a small piece off (the tape comes in a protective red sleeve) and rounded off the corners as the instructions instruct you to do. I placed it over the hole and rubbed. A few have gone by now and the seal of this tape is still holding strong! The rest of the tape is safely stored away for if I ever need it again. Highly recommended!

Great for minor repairs, easy to use, sticks well and works brilliantly.

Far from fantastic repair. Has the potential to peel of easily however clean the fabric is. Works well as an emergency repair kit, but beyond that little more use than gaffa tape really except the fact that the tape is transparent.IThe instructions do state that it does not provide a truly permanent repair, although it does stop rain ingress for as long as a repair patch stays in place. I did however get a strong impression from the ad here that the repair would stick pretty resolutely and be far strongerIf wanting a truly permanent repair a nylon water proof patch and adhesive is just so much better, but it is ok for temporary repairs.

A few years back, I invested in a family size, multi-room tent. The very next year, while it was set up in the back garden for the kids to "camp" in, some vandals came into the back garden & slashed it. I thought that the tent was ruined for good, and would be useless (even although it could set up, it wouldn't be waterproof or wind resistant.)Then, I came upon this Tenacious Tape & what a god-send! I was easily able to repair the slashes to the tent with this tape. I re-waterproofed just in case. We've camped many times since and there's never been an issue.I just returned from a camping trip in the Scottish Highlands and the wind and the rain were intense on one of the nights. I have to say it, I didn't even question whether the tent would hold up at the slashed sections. I had actually completely forgotten that there ever were any slashes. It was only when my husband brought out the leftover tape as an option to repair my dog's mesh screen that I remembered the repairs.To me, that indicates an excellent product and excellent results: the repairs are so good, I've forgotten about them.

I bought this to repair a rip in my Berghaus jacket... I applied it according to the instructions as best I could understand them. Jacket was perfectly dry and wasn't used for a couple of days after the patch was applied, but the first time I was out in the jacket the patch was just peeling off and it hasn't been in the rain yet. A complete was of time and money..!Just tried to re-patch the jacket, the first patch came of very easily and I have applied a second patch - but it very much looks like it won't stick to the Berghaus jacket material - I think it's "Gortex". It looks like it'll just come off - the edges aren't sticking well at all.

I've had a roll of this for some time and just bought two more - I've found it useful for cutting into small pieces and protecting a cycle frame where I have mounted clip on winter mud guards - Translucent colour means it's pretty invisible. I've also used it to repair a cracked plastic iPad case from the inside and one or two other similar jobs. I've found it pretty useful - sticky, hard wearing - but gave it 4 stars as it's expensive for the amount you get on a roll.. but if it saves the day when camping or repairs an expensive item the cost is all relative I guess.
