VIKROM Tent Seam Tape 65 Ft Lenght 0.8 Inch Wide Waterproof - White Tape Tent Repair Waterproof Seam Sealer

This worked well for me on an older Grundens rain jacket. Simply cut and lay EXACTLY where you want it to be on the seam. I set my iron to 3 out of 10 heat, no steam. I let it sit about 10 seconds on the tape to let it set. Then added heat in a few areas while in motion and it worked perfectly. Also rolled the seam and acted like motion with the coat to make sure it stayed and it did. Note there is no stickiness on the tape, it can slide if you arent careful. It only adheres with heat.

After 20 yrs my Kelty ZEN tent fly began to leak along some seams. Ordered this tape and the instructions say to apply with an iron. Kelty responded to my inquiry whether it was safe to apply with an iron with a pretty emphatic “no.” They said send the fly back to us and we’ll “see if we can help.” No time for all of that at the height of the season because who knows how long that’ll take, when I’ll get back, and at what cost? So, I have a commercial heat gun from when I was in the contacting biz. This tape is very thin but sticky so I just rolled it out along the seam and directed heat from the heat gun to the tape then pressed it into place without having to apply an iron directly to the fly fabric. The tape is really sticky when warmed up. I suppose you could even apply it with a household hair dryer. So far, so good. The tape is holding well. I did this by myself with one hand on the gun and the other rolling out the tape. If you actually had two people, one working the heat gun and the other applying the tape, this would be a super simple repair.

I used this to waterproof the seams on a nylon cover I’m making. After it cools, it peels right off. Ineffective.

Excellent Product. Be Sure You Need It...BEFORE You Buy It. This product REQUIRES a Steam Iron: If you don't have one, can't get one....or don't want to bother with it...then Do Not buy this product: Buy a liquid seam sealer instead. This tape is used to REPLACE the seam tape installed on your tent when the factory made it: It must be MELTED onto your tent using the iron. This is a Lot of Work. You must remove the old seam tape and then clean the tent material very thoroughly and dry it completely. Note: Tape has NO self-adhesive qualities whatsoever, and the heat and pressure of an iron is REQUIRED in order for it to succeed. Suggestion: Contact the maker of your tent and verify that the tent is not still under warranty -- They may be able to re-tape it for you, and they'll do a better job than you will. BTW: In addition to an iron, you will need a pair of scissors and a good measure of patience. Go Slow. Use a towel under the tent fabric as you use the iron. Flatten the fabric as you go: Folds in the fabric are the Enemy. Brush the fabric frequently, and avoid getting any debris under the tape as you work. Good Luck!

This seam tape is very high quality. It worked well on my raincoat. I used a mini heat press from Circuit to apply it. I tried a regular iron but it did not get hot enough to thoroughly melt the tape into the fibers. The mini heat press worked much better. Be very careful not to apply the heat from the mini heat press for more then 5 seconds at a time and I used the medium heat level. Also be very careful that you are using the correct side of the tape on your fabric. If you cut the tape ahead of time, make sure to tape or clamp it in the correct direction. If you heat and apply it "off the roll" it is a bit more cumbersome and you need to make sure to unroll small amounts so it does not flip or roll over. The only bad thing about this product is that it does not come with any application instructions at all. I only found one video on YouTube and it was not that good.

Worked well in the beginning but started to fall off after say maybe 5 washes?? Kind of inconvenient to keep applying it after only a few washes. 3 stars.

Works great. Didn't know but you need to iron it on. I used parchment paper between the tape and the iron to not damage the material I was tapping

I needed to repair a friend’s snow pants that popped open at the seam in the back crotch. This tape worked perfectly for me :) I ripped out the lining seam larger than the outside seam that had pulled out. I sewed the outside seam and used a mini craft iron set at 2 of 4 and pressed the seam to the side using a silk transparent press cloth to protect the fabric on the seamline and the surrounding fabric :) This sealing tape wraps on the spool with the adhesive face down. I used a sleeve tailors ham since I was repairing the curved back crotch seam on a pair of snow pants. I used the silk press cloth. It is large so it protects all the fabric and is transparent, so I could see what I was doing. I centered the tape on the seamline and covered it with the silk press cloth. I counted 1,000 - 2,000 through 10,000 while applying pressure with the iron. I did one side then the other around the curve for each step. I set the timer on my phone for 3 minutes for not moving the fabric and allowing it to cool each section before moving to the next section. I double checked that the tape now looked almost transparent with no edges coming blisters Then I sewed the lining back together and was done :)
