HOW TO USE DCF PEEL +STICK PULL LOOPS:
1: Clean the DCF/Cuben Fiber area with regular isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
2: Let dry thoroughly.
3: Flatten the area you will be attaching the tie-out to prevent applying over creases as best you can. You may need some small weights (rocks or soup cans) to hold the area down flat.
4: Peel the backing off of the loop, and apply it where desired.
5: Press down firmly and/or burnish with medium pressure to get a good bond. Use a smooth, non-hard object to apply pressure. A new and clean tennis ball is a good burnisher for a larger area, but your finger pressing down very hard is OK too.
6: The 3″ White square is for reinforcing the inside of the fabric and then apply the Black 2″ tieout on the outside.
7: Let cure TWO days for a 100% strength bond. Any curing time is better than none, so do what you have to in the field.
8: Store unused DCF Pull Loops in a tightly sealed Ziplock and store in a cool place. Doing this gives them about a two-year shelf life before the UNUSED adhesive begins to break down and should be replaced. Once it’s bonded, it is good to go for the life of the shelter.

Alaska (verified owner) –
I haven’t field tested yet, but since there are no other reviews… this kit is great. The stick on dcf is easy to use. I found it easier to put on my tent while it is pitched, rather than flat. I put mid-hem loops on my Tarptent Notch Li, to keep them from flapping in high wind – not a structural problem, just an annoyance. There are components in here I don’t need, but will add to my repair kit.
