    Methods to repair DCF corner tie out positions where DCF glue has separated?

    I have a Hammock Gear DCF tarp (standard with doors in camo DCF). The corner tie-out positions have separated and started to rip the tarp DCF. I reached out to HG to get their estimate for repairs but wanted to see if anyone had any specific recommendations for me to consider in this situation. Below are photos of the situation - 3 out of 4 corner tie out positions have had the inner backing dcf material glue separated from the tarp DCF.

    This last one shows what the original design looks like without the glue separating.

    Hey iceman, I picked up a used HG DCF tarp in the .50 green Dyneema and one of the corners was peeling back like that. I will defer to HG since they are experts in these tarps, but I had success re-attaching it with a thin layer of super glue. Been holding up well so far in my limited testing. I’ve also read that urethane glues like loctite hysol will work on it.

    Thanks TwistyTee! I reached out to HG and they said it might be possible to repair it so I should send it in. I definitely am considering doing that because I don't trust my own gluing ability. LOL

    I am really hoping it doesn't mean the end of my tarp!
