Hello.
Foolishly I have melted a 3cm hole in the groundsheet of my tent.
I have a patch of the same material,but what I would like to know is
what is the best way to glue the patch to the ground sheet?
Is there a special glue?

Also, can anyone recommend a decent replacement tent pole supplier?

Thanks.
J.

I get about 15 spam emails a day offering me a better tentpole.

And evo-stik or stormsure should do the job.

TJ+1

they did a super job recently on my Outwell (they're the official repairers for them). Give them a call and speak to them.

Overlocking sewing machine and seam-sealant.

FWIW Scottish mountain gear are fab. New groundsheet on my old tent - excellent service, great job. Send your business their way as they deserve to be kept in business for helping us not throw stuff away when it can be fixed.
