How To Patch Tarps | PROPERLY

[@DrivenTrucking]

The last video of 2018!! Happy New Years everyone, be safe!!

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thank you so much Jason, same to you!

One tip....always patch both sides of a repair. Doing only 1 side can allow dirt, moisture, or debris in to loosen the patch.

[@MBates1212]

Good job. I have one extra tip for you though. Something I’ve learned is to always round the edges of the piece of patch tarp your using. This helps prevent corners peeling off.

[@DrivenTrucking]

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@martymc92]

I do the same method to patch my tarps. Something I learn is to use bricks or something heavy to press the patch while is drying. Patches have lasted longer since I use that method

[@DrivenTrucking]

Nice

[@saetmusic]

Patch done right! When I patch a hole or rip on a tarp I do that procedure but, just to be sure, I do it on BOTH sides!

[@RevEhab]

what brand of glue you are using

[@davidschabel7832]

Thanks for the video on tarps, the company I was leased to broke my heart when I changed from flatbed to rgn 4 axles, they took my tarps away, paid me for the tarps. Pull toy told you so.

[@DrivenTrucking]

That’s a bummer 🤪

[@whytepohnee1]

Thx for the video, and I have questions: Is it common practice for company drivers to repair their own tarps? And if so, should I be asking for compensation for repairing THEIR equipment? 🤔 I suppose what really got me thinking about this was taking my tarp in for a repair estimate and was told they'd do both tarps for $300 😳 Mind you, my tarps weren't in very bad shape, had a couple of 6inch tears, but everything else was just tiny holes here and there. I went ahead since the company reimbursed me for it, but if they're willing to pay a shop $300, should I really be expected to do it myself at no cost to them? 🤨

[@charles2359]

So when can I bring my tarps to you lol. Happy New Years and awesome video. Be safe and have a blessed day

[@DrivenTrucking]

Lol, I hate patching but it’s just one of those things. Thank you and same to you Charles!

[@charles2359]

Driven Trucking I agree I hate it too lol

[@exportconnections751]

Perfect vid. Straight to the point.

[@mariaphillips9487]

Great video , enjoyed it. Happy New Years. Stay safe

[@abdonrodriguez3586]

Id put a piece of flat smooth wood underneath ( if possible) to enable the glue to spread smooth and even

[@dustinwillis1514]

That was cool man I didn't know how that was done I have seen it before though

[@DrivenTrucking]

👍🏻 It’s one of those boring menial tasks but it does so much

[@mukhtarchik]

Thanks for the video, what you do in wet condition?

[@TheStigma]

Good guide, but please clarify - this is a PVC tarp, and the glue you use is (a type of) PVC cement? Have you ever tried welding rather than gluing?

[@JarvisMrCoghlan]

Would something like Lepage Heavy Duty Contact cement work instead of HH-66?

[@firehousetrucker2317]

Good job Brian...Happy New Years to you and your family

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thanks Brian! Same to you 😊

[@ktanner11]

You melt the patch on with the heat gun the glues never seem to ti last

[@jeffbeaird747]

Happy New Year.!!🎊🎆🎈

[@DrivenTrucking]

Happy New Year!! 🎊

[@cj691]

Could you add "vinyl" to the title? I got here looking for canvas tarp repair. I'm ready to sew something I think. 😂

[@mountainfinn662]

Did you do flats before you went to Mercer?

[@DrivenTrucking]

I did but only for a couple of months so I don’t even consider it experience

[@timphillips1570]

Great editing!!

[@DrivenTrucking]

😁

[@yacyuuzi]

Thanks man. This has helped so much

[@johnhamilton2680]

Great stuff, Wish you the best!

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thank you so much John!

[@johnglad5]

The patch kit is 40 bucks. A 16 X 20 tarp is 34 bucks at Menards. You are repairing huge tarps, extreme duty. Thanks

[@RevEhab]

when you are repairing shelter logic temporary shed, you will discover that you are repairing 300$ cover with 10$ glue and patch.

[@julioortega7303]

Where do I get vinyl cement

[@doyleslim541]

I ordered it on Amazon for like 11 bucks.

[@leerhill]

Don’t do Facebook thanks for the video hope you a happy New Years as well

[@DrivenTrucking]

Me either lol, I should probably start 😂 happy New Years

[@akashpatode7325]

Great Video 😎❤️👍

[@frankmontez6853]

The kit cost me more than the actual tarp 😂😅🤣 Tarp cost $33 I got Walmart rubber cement and might try that. But need tape or tarp material I guess

[@driveramd12]
