Zoltan- It depends on what you call 'undetectable'. If you want a repair that is not very obvious, and quite sturdy, I would try an Iron-on patch on the INSIDE of the tent. They come in many colors, including tan. Cut patch slightly larger than the gash, round the edges of the patch, have a partner wrap a plank with a thick terry-cloth towel and press this against the outside of the tent at the gash. Warm up the family clothes iron and press the patch in place per the instructions on the package. Cheers, G.

I have an 8 inch cut in my tent canvas and I still do not know how to mend it nice enough that it will look decent and fairly undetectable. |
