We have just returned from a great fortnight in cornwall.  It was very wet at times but the tent stood up well.  We have just put it up in the garden to dry out and to clean off the mud when I noticed some very, very tiny holes in the roof fabric of the tent.  We put the hose on the tent and the finest of sprays could be felt.  If we left it I could see the potential for them to get larger.  Any ideas on how to repair them/seal them would be greatfully recieved.

For tiny pinholes I would probably use seam sealer and that should be fine.

Alternatively tenatious tape is good, we've got some on the kitchen roof of our Cabanon where hubby "flamed" it and put tiny holes and it seems fine.

Yep I would say that Tenacious Tape is best - it is long lasting and unnoticeable because it is clear.

Storm seal is brilliant ,its a flexible glue that you dab onto pin holes & it seals them like a rubber skin.
Get it here click   Spares and Repairs & then Tent spares and Repairs. Its at the top.

Curious as to why you ask this? Are you thinking that tiny bits of hot ash may have burned holes in the tent, or is there another reason?

Cheers
