Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free of grease or debris. For best results, trim any frayed threads near the tear so the tape sits flush against the fabric. Peel the backing off the TUFF Tape and apply it directly to the surface, pressing firmly from the center outward to ensure all air bubbles are removed.
Compatibility is broad, as the tape adheres well to most synthetic outdoor fabrics, PVC, and nylon. While the tape is waterproof, it is recommended to keep the repair dry for a few hours if possible to allow the adhesive to reach maximum bond strength, even though it is ready for immediate use. Store the remaining kit in a cool, dry place inside your rucksack for future field repairs.
