    repairing OzTent

    Hi all,

    The webbing for a tie down point on one corner of my OzTent has come undone. I've started sewing it back together but now I'm thinking I could also use some sort of glue between the webbing and the floor to make it stronger. I'm fairly sure the webbing is nylon and that the floor is heavy duty pvc. What sort of bonding substance would be best? I thought maybe hot glue or perhaps sikaflex or similar. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    cheers

    You might be best off contacting OZtent.

    When I had a small tear in mine, they sent me some free fabric and recommendations for glue, and instructions. For the life of me, I can't remember what type of glue, but it was easily obtainable.

    Thanks Ryan,

    I contacted OzTent and they recommend Selley's Gel Grip for the PVC floor and said it should also be fine for the nylon webbing.
