Winter tarp - snaps or just overlap doors

I hear there is a new repair tape specific to sil impreg fabric. You could use that, doubled over itself while wrapping around the hem, creating the tab you're looking for. You could also bond the reinforcement patch on.. and avoid sewing and seam sealing.

Maybe Tenacious Tape? Ive used some on my silpoly and silnylon tarp and it seems to hold fine.

They are K5 KamSnaps. The head is 1/2" if I remember correctly.

Thanks. I forgot that they make much larger/metal versions. I have the much smaller plastic ones.

I love these things... find all kinds of uses for them.

If it will hold on silpoly sure. why not?

I tried some older Tenacious Tape for a repair on my GG Murmur (silnylon) and for me it did not hold. I have not yet tried the new stuff... link to actual product. I plan to pick up some next time I'm at REI.

This was not yet available when I did the repair to my Murmur. I did a fugly job with a swatch of silnylon material and the liquid silicone goo. No worries, doesn't affect the function one little bit.
