I need to glue fabric to aluminum tent poles so it needs to be tight. Would this cause any bleeding or yellowing? Is repositioning possible?

I did not find this product easy to work with. Didn't have a problem with bleeding or yellowing; however you can forget the repositioning and it's messy as all get out being a spray. I did not find it user friendly for small things. Much more adapted to big surfaces where it doesn't matter if the spray hits areas other than where you want to seal something. I won't be purchasing this product again.

I used it to adhere fabric to a steel safe and there was no color discoloration. Aluminum is obviously a very different metal altogether, so I don't really know the answer, sorry. I can say that once the fabric is down it sticks REAL fast, so repositioning is very difficult. Great product, but be sure to use outdoors because even with windows open and a fan on rooms will still be saturated with the odor.

Not sure I can answer that. I've only used heavy fabrics, such as felt, and it does not bleed or yellow and it holds very well. It dries fairly quickly, so repositioning could be tricky. I would say that it would depend on the fabric you are using. Hope this helps!

With my experience it is tough but not that tough to glue fabric to metal. It does also bleed a little bit most of which is not yellow but clear and clean. If I were you I would do more research on metal to softer material like fabric. 3M 77 is a great and safe product but perhaps not for this specific application.

I have not had a problem using my machine for that type of fabric. I did small projects though. I would say so long as you are using the right thread, needle and tension you should be ok.

No experience with tearing because I haven't had that problem. However, I am a seamstress, and I'm wondering if there isn't a type of fabric glue that would seal the edges and prevent further fraying. Check with a craft store such as Joann Fabrics or Michaels. Perhaps there are vinyl patches you could apply also.

I only recomend anchoring the feet that attaches to the legs, with some good heavy strong long stakes. You can mfind tent stakes that look just like a huge nail. I would not achor with cement as it will rust some metals. Cement ate up my wheelbarrow bottom. Great, strong canopy. Mel

The bags are now at another location, so they're not handy for me to check, but if the canopy is on vertical poles you should be okay. My father ended up sticking a couple of poles into buckets of sand, because the wind was sliding the tent across the parking lot. Unfortunately, he didn't remove the side of the canopy which was tied to the pole, he just stuck it right into the bucket of sand. With the bags you can maneuver the ties for the sides and the bags so they don't interfere with each other.

It won't be real tight. It just hangs. As for the clamps, if you don't have a rod pocket on your backdrop, use the clamps like a clothespin. I guess if you wanted to, you could use the clamps to stretch it a little tighter side to side at the top with a rod pocket too. {I don't know why you would need to} But the rest will just hang. If you need to get wrinkles out, set it up a day or two before hand and let them 'fall' out. The sides of the backdrop don't connect to the stand. Only the top of the backdrop.I hope this answers your question.

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

I haven't used mine yet but are party is out side and we are us ring party tents so I am going to try close pins . If you have a teachers supply store they should sell mounting tape that hopeful won't damage anything

Yes, we put the pins in the poles. For some reason, the floor seems to pull up. We are hoping that after a couple of uses, the tent may stretch enough to lay flat. Thanks

No. You insert the poles through an opening at the sides of the tent and on top of of the tent you tie the poles with a ribbon that is already attached to it. It is really a good tent. It is easy to assemble. I would say it's the best tent for its price!

I used a piece of tape. If your tape bleeds too much light, put a piece of foil in between. Easy enough

Yes you can put it on if you need it. I haven't used mine on tent yet but plan on putting it on at my next show. Remember no question is silly or dumb. How will you learn or make a decision ifnyou don't ask questions. Thanks hope thatnhelped.

I would say no because you are losing a foot on each side. The tent walls will not taunt up and you will have a droopy tent. This would cause your sides to potentially collect rain in the droops (?)and likely leak. But, you could always try it and get a new 10by canopy if it doesn't work. Use your 9by over your picnic table. &#128512;

Get some paracord or something similar and tie to loop that most tents already have at the top center of the tent. I bought this item for the Coachella Music Festival in April and it worked great!

Contact the seller and ask them if you could sell you a few piece-meal? That, or give the manufacturing company a phone call.To keep the elastic flexible, one should keep the poles extended and not folded up when not in use. You may or may not already do this.

Yes, and no. They're generic tent pole replacements that are designed to fit any Coleman tent in terms of width of bars, etc. Chances are, all the rods put together will be too long for your tent because they're made to be as long as the longest pole made by Colemen. So you VERY LIKELY will have to cut at least one pole before tying it together with the elastic rope. If you buy this, make sure you have the ability to cut fiberglass in a straight, smooth line.

YES ... no problems. buy a good quality black tape, such as Guerrilla Tape to close any pinholes in tent.
