Repairing Army Bivi

[BushEd]

Hi guys.

There's a strip of tape covering the central seam in my army bivi thats started to peel off, I'm just wondering whats a good solution to fix it...

Just some tent seam tape?!

Cheers

Tent seam tape is fine. You can use silicon sealant too.

rubber solution for fixing innertubes is good too.

Uho glue works a treat and guess how much it costs in the pound shop

mine was coming of when i bought it, it annoyed me so I pulled the rest off, after getting through a few downpours the tape doesn't seem to make much difference to the waterproofing, as it's stuck on non-waterproof and porous nylon webbing material. it's the rubbery seam sealant stuff that's the important bit.

Thanks for all thee help guys!!

lol your eye's may be deceiving you...
I have 4 issue Bashas bought separately but all genuine(MoD shelter sheet Desert and Temperate versions), all have a thick rubbery (see-through)seam sealant type gunk on the main seam, the opposite side to the tape that seems to fall off.
