Has anyone tried Gorilla tape on tears? I don't know what all it will stick to.

Use it on nylon tents and tent flies. Stays put and works for years. Always have a roll on any extended trip.

+1 on the Gorilla Tape. Used some on an Ameristep Doghouse blind and some for some outdoor use around the house. So far, so good.

Just learned something on the Gorilla tape. I run a strip between the bottom of the pickup tail gate and the bed to keep dust out. Yesterday, I dropped the tail gate in 15 below temps and that strip of tape cracked in half for it's full length. Beware, it loses its flexibility in subzero temps.

I've also cracked a lot of plastic cooler hinges at the same temp. They all get switched to piano hinges now as soon as they arrive.

I repair Wranglers that get those nicks and tears from every day wear. When they are ready to be thrown away because they are worn out, the patch with Tear Mender is still there. Never had one come off

I have repaired many waders,tents and blinds including canvas with Tyvek tape. Apply inside and out. I have yet to need to retape a single repair and some are over 12 years old now. It's a DuPont product made for exterior sheathing. It's the real deal. Widely available at Home Depot and the like.

Shoe goo will disappoint, I guarantee you. Try a product called Aquaseal..more expensive but it works great in those type applications. This ^^^ Shoo Goo has been a temporary repair IME. Aqua Seal is NOT like a $3.00 tube of silicone caulking. It is expensive and once opened you may as well use it all. (it doesn't keep well after opening) I never use the catalyst. Aqua Seal is recommended (used) for the repair of the most expensive waders in the world because it works. Freezer it after use. Then thaw out in cup of hot water when you need to use it. Gear Aid Free Sole is similar stuff. Have used both to patch wetsuits and drysuits.
Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.

Will Tyvek tape stick to silnylon? I'm pretty sure it will. Works on waders too. It's not expensive. Give it a shot.
