My tarp has a pin hole that needs to be taped over. Should I put repair tape on the inside, outside or both sides? Also, I'm guessing for a pinhole, a 1" square of repair tape would be adequate? Thanks for the help!

If it were me I would do both sides but make the tape round circles. That way the edges should not fray like a square corner would.
Thanks. That's what I was leaning towards.
Where did you get this tape? I need some.
Hammock Gear sells it, among other places.Quote:

It has held up perfectly for a few years now.
If you do it on both sides do not make them the same size. Make sure one overlaps the other one.
