??? Seam Grip to attach anchors to tarp??? - 04/15/11 10:52 PM

I had this post on the MYOG and thought I'd try this side

I want to attach anchors to the inside of my tarp to anchor a homemade floor and bug net that goes about 10" up the sloping sides. Could I sew nylon loops onto a piece of coated ripstop and use seam grip to glue the patches with loops onto the inside coated surface of the taffeta material? The floor/bug net would then clip onto these loops. There wouldn't be much pressure on the glued on patches. Appreciate any input! Thanks in advance for your time. Joe

Depends. If it's silicon impregnated nylon, you'd be better off using silicon.

Sometimes people refer to sil as silicon coated nylon, so clarification was necessary.

Hope it works well for you.
