Can anyone recommend a tarp repair shop along this route? I am thru paying my local shop $350 for 5 hours of gluing patches.

we've done our own patches before and it wasn't that hard if you want to try it, just use a heat gun and heat the tarp until it starts to get gooey then put your patch on (we used pieces of old tarp cut to size) then you need to roll it thouroughly to get them to adhere together.

I haven't tried it yet but doesn't the tarp glue work? I think it's some type of contact cement.

I'll try that heat gun + old piece of tarp trick.

I'm searching for a repair shop that does stitching.....We had a driver shred a tarp on us and it needs more than a patch.
