Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. 
I've got a bit of a problem here, I am trying to repair our Jack Wolfskin worlds end rt tent. The problem is the coating on the groundsheet has bubbled up on half the floor and I'm looking for a way to remove it (without destroying the tent) before I can apply a new coat.
So far I've heard of amonia 1 to 1 with water or Isopropyl alcohol (which I cannot get here in Holland).
Has anybody tryed to do such a repair?

We've bought this tent in 2006 and I believe it still has some life in it yet. I will buy a new one as a last resort but would like to avoid if possible. In three weeks time we're off cycling southern Europe for six months www.bike-journeys.com

Any help would be greatly appriciated, George T.

No idea xilios - but have you contacted the manufacturer to ask their advice?t

Thanks for the reply.

I've found a solution myself this mornng. I used water, a fine knit wash cloth, some elbo grease and a lot of patience to rub it clean. I had tryed it in a small section at first and it seemed to work well so I stayed with it for a few hours and got the whole thing off.
I was hoping for an easyer solution but oh well, at least now I know there aren't any chemicals on it.

Hi,
After removing all of the old floor I used TentSure from McNETT http://www.mcnetteurope.com/ just follow the instructions it has worked well through our 5 month tour around europe http://www.bike-journeys.com/ and will be using it again this year on our 3 week tour to Nice.

He proved you wrong there then road Hog !
