Hey guys, just got a USMC tarp from a surplus store.  Pretty good condition minus a few pin holes.  Was looking to repair them and add bungee to the corners.    Would a clear silicone caulk from a hardware store work just fine?
And where would I find bungees for that tarp ?  I can't seem to find the specific ones.   Thanks guys

I used vinyl repair glue on mine with just a tiny dab on each pinhole. Worked great!

Use these SOT Patch repair on everything and the are strong and have adhesive on them.

I used clear tent repair tape cut into little squares about ten years ago. They're all still there.

What seems to be the going rate for these? Mine's sat on a shelf and I'd be happy to pass it along to someone who will use it.

Got mine shipped from a surplus store in used / good condition for about $45.  Coloring is still new.  Just had some pin holes scattered about that I had to find using a light.

I have used Shoe Goo adhesive for retaining waterproof patches.

If you use repair tape or patches, round the corner before applying them. It prevent them from lift and coming off.
