A permanent patch goes on in minutes and bonds stronger than the tarp itself.

Your truck’s tarps are an investment.  But rips happen.

And the longer it goes unattended, the worse a rip in your tarp can get.

HH-66 is the most widely recommended adhesive for tarp repair.  Whether your truck’s in the shop or at a stop, it only takes 5 minutes to repair a tear for good.

1. Prepare

  • Cut patch to appropriate size, ensuring a two-inch overlap on all sides.
  • Round corners to minimize peeling.
  • Clean surfaces with HH-66 Thinner.
  • Sand any glossy surfaces lightly for the best adhesion.

2. Apply

  • Use the applicator brush to apply an even, edge-to-edge coat of HH-66 Vinyl Cement to both surfaces to be joined.
  • Allow cement to set until tacky, typically around 2 minutes.  Cement will remain tacky for just a few minutes.

3. Attach

  • Press patch on tarp firmly while tacky.
  • Apply even pressure throughout to remove air bubbles.
  • Allow to bond for at least an hour before use.  Strongest hold achieved after one day.
  • Remove any excess adhesive with HH-66 Thinner.
