Tentage Repair Kit
You can also mend vinyl-coated fabrics by using
the updated tentage repair kit, NSN 8340-00-262-
5767. The canvas sheets that originally came with the
kit are no longer available. The Army has replaced
them with 60-in polyester sheets for Feld repairs.
They come in both green and tan. If you don’t need
the entire kit, order the sheets separately:
•
±ind the hole or tear on the
inside
of the fabric. Make all repairs
on this side.
•
Brush off loose soil or dirt from the area to be taped. Clean the
area with an alcohol pad. Wipe a large enough surface so that
the tape will Ft well inside the cleaned area.

Mechanic’s Coveralls in
Universal Camo
The kit also comes with
adhesive for applying
polyester patches.
Order them through the
DoD EMALL
website:
•
Let the fabric dry.
•
Spread the fabric on a flat surface.
•
Cut the tape 2 inches longer than the hole you want to cover.
•
Using the scissors, round off the four corners of the tape.
Rounded corners make the tape less likely to peel off.
•
Peel off the Flm liner from the tape as you apply the tape to the
inside of the fabric.
•
Press the tape Frmly against the fabric. Allow the tape to set.
The longer the better. Overnight is best, but give it at least
20 to 30 minutes.
You can now order mechanic’s coveralls in
universal camouflage. Here are the NSNs:
