Out on a two day trip this past weekend, I noticed a small tear/rip on the footbox of my Burrow. I was (GASP) losing a very small amount of downy goodness!!
It is only about an inch long. How would you suggest repairing or fixing? I have no idea how it got there, but it needs to be fixed!!
Ideas? Suggestions?

Tenacious tape will do the job but I would speak to stormcrow first to see what he recommends
+1 on tenacious tape. Cut the patch round so no corners are there to snag.

I got a rip on mine and just hand-stitched it.

Depending on the size, you might want to position a piece of tape on the inside (too?). If the hole is tiny, a bit of seal sealer silicone will do the trick.

What about cuben fiber tape? I too need to make a repair and was about to post the same question when I came across this post. Mine is M50 material with two holes that worry me. Maybe fit 3 tooth picks in the hole and 5 holes that 1 tooth pick would fit in. So my question is tenacious tape or cuben fiber tape?
My HG cuben tarp came with a strip of cuben tape and a larger rectangular cuben tape patch in case anything happened. I keep them in my first aid / repair / survival kit.
I am repairing a HG incubator UQ. Would you use the tape that was included with your tarp on a UQ as well?Originally Posted by kunzman
Tenacious tape then.
cuben tape is pretty strong stuff- its what i use for repairs.
