Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first used this gooey stuff after my tent was wind-blasted by small branches, tearing a 3 inch rip in the no-see-um netting. A couple patches from an air mattress covered the mesh, but the adhesive tube for them was far too small to do the trick, plus it was dried up. Enter seam-grip.
After returning to home, I set out to find a repair goo for the tent and a mountain drive to Eastern Mtn. Sports, now fairly ubiquitous, produced the fix. It's been 14 years since the mini-tornado incident and the patches are still holding. So are all the repairs I've made to the backpacking air mattresses, gloves, holes in jackets, repairs in gore-tex tape, and re-rubbering the cracked rubber handles on my ice axes.
Not to mention any repair that absolutely requires adhesion and flexibility.
Don't buy the big tube unless you have all the items laid out for repair: all your jackets, tent seams, etc. The stuff will set in the tube once opened, and each time you remove the cap you'll have to excavate some of the dried stuff to get at the runny mix. In the end, you'll have to surgically extract the last remaining goop from the edge of the container or by unrolling the crimp without getting the sappy stuff all over your hands.
Takes about 6 hours to dry and can have talcum powder applied when nearly dry to prevent the finish from feeling grippy or generally looking like a wet booger.
Use it in a well ventilated area. It smells like airplane glue and probably isn't the best for your brain. Contains toluene. This product is a must for your junk drawer.
