    I patched the holes in my tarp, but much of the color coat is disappearing and exposing the webbing. Is there some sort of a spray on adhesive that is flexible and waterproof? I don't want to patch large areas. My largest area is about 2'x3'.

    I think I may be failing at the terminology :biggrin_25526:

    youre looking for spray on vinyl, try some of the rubber coating in a can and spread it with a brush

    Hey now they can still be used. Just gotta rig it up. He can get roll on or spray on vynal or flex seal "ITS LIQUID RUBBER IN A CAN!!!" Believe it or not it actually works too. But selling them would be easy $100 is a little high depending on steel PR lumber my steels that came with my trailer are for sale locally for $250 for the set. Got a couple holes that I don't want to spend the money to patch or waste the ttime to patch. And they're still in good shape except for a couple dime sized holes just seems like used tarps aren't selling very high...then again no used equipment is selling very high.
