When you have annoying boyfriends that leave glass jars of peanuts in your tent and a pack of wild, aggressive black squirrels eat holes in the tent to get to cette jar, you need to do something to repair the holes. I own a Eureka Sunrise 11 and when I called the Binghamton, NY, company to ask what to do, they immediately suggested this Kenyon tape. Central NY doesn't sell it (that I know of), so I bought it online. Ya, shipping stinks, but I cut rounded patches out like the directions suggested, and carefully placed it over the hole. I did the same to the back, then used seam sealer to seal the edges. Went camping in rainstormy weather, and was dry as could be. Awesome stuff, would buy again, and I love the fact that it adheres to the tent.

**Side note: if you don't carefully place the patch onto whatever hole you're trying to close up, little puckers in the side of the tape appear and I would assume rain would definitely seep in there. This happened twice, so what I did was cut out another little piece of tape and put it on the end of the pucker, then seam sealed it. No leaks so far. You can't put down the tape more than once because of the adhesive, so how do you get it right the first time? I dunno.
