    Hole in my Cuben tarp

    Not a big one. Just a pin size hole that creates a drip about every 30 seconds. I've hear they make a cuben tape for repairs but i don't no where to get it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!

    I'd check with whoever made your tarp. Next bet would be some flowable silicone.
    YMMV

    Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)

    man thats a bummer. Do you know how it happened? I'm curious because I've been reading various threads on the durability of cuben.

    Zpacks carrys couple of colors of cuben material taped all you do is cut the size you need and pull the paper backing off and tape it on,,works like a charm. You can hardly see it when yu use it as it blends in so well.

    I have rubbed my cuben tarp with my spreader bars before and abrased them with a smear of pin holes before and this tape will never come off,,hang your tarp tight and stick it right on,,and rub the bubbles out of it if you happen to get any,,it will stick forever.

    How big is the hole? If it really is just a pin size I can send you a few small cut ups of cuben tape to repair it with. However you may feel inclined just to order some from z packs cause having Cuban tape is pretty handy if you have a Cuban tarp.
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    Duct tape or gorilla tape will adhere to cuben. Did it to mine. Gives a nice hillbilly vibe to it))))))

    If I forked out the money for cuben and found a hole even that size, I would be sobbing in the corner
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
