I was just cleaning the ZIG from my Cabanon Biscaya, and noticed that one of the rubber pegging points is coming off. In fact it looks like the point wasn't glued on properly in the first place, as I can see there is glue only about 2/3 of the way round the edge.

Can anyone recommend a suitable glue/adhesive so that I can repair this myself? The pegging point is clear rubber, attached to a PVC groundsheet.

Thanks!

I have used glue called Stormsure for mending Crocs but it seems like it may be good for the pegging point. If you do an internet search for it the have a website. This is the list of things they say it would be good for fixing;

Waders and rubber boots, trainers, shoes, crocs and flip flops, inflatable matresses and kayaks, car soft top roof fabric, horse rugs, pool linings, wetsuits and drysuits, awnings, tents and tarpaulins, waterproof clothing, surf kites and bladders and furniture.

Hope that helps...

That Stormsure glue looks good - I've made a note of it for future reference. :)

Thanks Dibsy01, I'll take a look at the Stormsure. Any idea if it's available from B&Q and the like, or will I need to order it online?

I'm not sure if I've seen it in B&Q or anywhere. The first tube I bought I got at a campsite. When I needed it again it had dried up and I got the second tube from ebay (a tiny tube so I used it up in 1 go).

Cabanon sent me a kit, for effecting this type of repair, fact is the pegging points are not glued in at manufacture, they are high frequency welded, not somthing that can be done as a DIY repair, even if you had the kit, to do the high frequency weld, you would still need the dedicated tooling to complete the job.

I only know this, because my Biscaya had a couple of the internal securing points, for the befdroom pod, missing when new!, the internal points also but up against some of the pegging points.

Cabanon high frequenzy welded the missing points into place, even though I could have used the glue and spare points, and done the job myself, but they explained that a glued repair may not be permanent, were as a welded repair would be.

As you say, there is glue on your pegging point, I am guessing that it has been repaired before, in a DIY fashion, did you buy the tent from new?.

My ZiG at the time, was returned to Cabanon France, to have the work done, under warranty of course, and is now perfect, that was back in 2008.

The repair kit was sent to me, before Cabanon realised that it was a in warranty issue, the glue in the kit is Carmo PVC - PUR SEAL and is intended for the repair of failed high frequenzy welds.
