Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Stormsure adhesive and patches can be used to repair a wide variety of outdoor gear.

Stormsure says

This very special adhesive glue is one of the few products that can repair leaks, cracks and rips on all tents, inflatable tents, awnings, groundsheets, sleeping bags, bags, coverings and many more! Repairs are permanent, strong, waterproof, flexible and resistant to abrasion (weather and water abrasion).

Stormsure’s Tent Awning and Groundsheet Repair Kit makes it easy to perform durable and effective repairs on torn or damaged tents, awning and groundsheets. The waterproof nature of Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive (included in the pack), means repairs can be made on any part of the tent, awning or groundsheet and the repair will remain strong and waterproof no matter the conditions. Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive is also highly durable so it won’t break when undergoing a lot of tension or stress such as when the tent, awning or groundsheet is folded.

The kit contains a 5g tube of Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive, a 15cm TUFF Tape strip, two 75mm (diameter) TUFF Tape patches, along with protective gloves. Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive can repair everything from worn material to a large hole. Repairs are waterproof, flexible and resistant to abrasion (weather and water abrasion).

TUFF Tape is a transparent, self-adhesive, non-rip tape that is both waterproof and durable. Repairs can be done quickly by sticking a TUFF Tape patch directly onto a small hole. Larger holes and seams can be fixed neatly and with ease when using TUFF Tape and Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive together.

Our Verdict

Stormsures Tent & Groundsheet repair kit has a good mix of Stormsure products with a tube of adhesive and a set of Tuff Tape patches. The videos show exactly how you can use this stuff and it weighs so little it’s a no-brainer to add it to your safety kit in your backpacking set up.

Stormsure Adhesive does not stick to Silicone infused fabrics such as those used in lightweight backpacking tents.

Features

• Typical uses: For repairs on inflatable tents, particularly those with inflatable pillars, struts and air-beams. Also for material tents, awnings and groundsheets
• Directions: For instant repairs to punctures and splits on generally flat surfaces, clean the surface and apply a TUFF Tape patch or strip directly onto the damage. Rub with a smooth, hard object to ensure best adhesion and least air under the patch. For damage in awkward or hard to reach areas, clean the damaged are (sand for best results) and apply Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive directly onto the damage, leaving a 5mm excess overlapping around it. Leave flat and allow to cure for 10-12 hours.
• Tips: Mix with Stormcure Accelerator to reduce cure time to approximately 1 hour. Ensure there is no air left in the tube before replacing cap. Store partly used tubes in a freezer.
