Will this tape allow me to repair a tear in a canvas oil on the reverse side of the canvas? If not what will?

I am not qualified to answer this question since I don't know about the interaction between any oil on the back of the canvas and the sticking power of this tape. My guess would be that it might not be a good application because the sticky back of this tape is quite forgiving - i.e. I used it to place wedding cards in an album so you could flip them and see the back side. I was able to reposition some cards several times without tearing paper. I have some "canvas" printer paper that is much sturdier and that might give you the stability you need with an adhesive of your choice ( to create a patch of sorts).

Book repair tape is thicker than the paper used to make lanterns. It is mostly used to fix spine issues on books. I would instead look into mending tissue (another bookbinding product), or depending on how severe the issue is another type of thin, flexible tape. Hope that helps!

It is not easy to tear. It has a strip of plastic over one side in order to be able to put one glue side down and then take off the plastic strip off of the other side. It is a little tricky to get the plastic strip off but it is the best way to glue two surfaces together. I use a mat knife and cut on an angle in order to make it easier to get the plastic strip off. The Scotch tape is good but there are other tapes just as good.

There is a curved needle that would work better, but any needle would work if you are careful when sewing up the rip/tear. If you expect to sew and make the tear more water tight then keep the stitches closer together.

Sure. If you have the room to wrap it around the leak. The tape stretches and hardens to itself as you wrap. This stuff kicks ass. Try it.

My guess would be no. I believe from using it myself to reading the description and reviews that it's best used to repair a solid object (umbrella rib, rake handle, etc.). What about colored duct tape?

It is best to put a piece on either side of the tear inside and outside. Drain the water down so that you can get the patch a couple inches past the tear. Put pressure on either side to stick together.

That's a strong possibility. You can always try it and if it fails you can try some 3M double sided adhesive tape. Good Luck.

We also had a tear in our liner, used the tape but it lifted within 24 hours. Good luck.

I believe this should repair the seat portion of your swing. I used it to repair my backpack and haven't had to put much weight on it. The tape is about 2" and the length is >10" so it would work if it is not a load bearing patch (in other words it not the main thing holding the seat together)

Sandra, I got stuck with tape that is not ever usable. I wanted to use it like velcro for my pants withouthemming them and then unstick them when I put my high heels on. This was useless. I'm not sure that it would be strong enough to do what you want.

The tape is for underneath a tile if it doesn't sit level. Just cut a small piece and apply.

I don't now that this tape is actually 'waterproof' but the adhesive is very durable and sticky, so I think it may work. Try it out and then post your results.

If it is a tear it can be used. I actually used it on both a tear and a different location with a two inch whole. Both "cured" perfectly except the whole was a little shiny - I used the wrong finish paper. For the tear I put it both under and on top and you can hardly notice.

If it is just a surface scratch, then it might help. But if the gash opened up the metal or took out all the paint covering, then it would not work. Sorry, but I never got that miracle feel most people review, or what the manufacturer purports

Just guessing, but I expect it might work as a patch to stop leaking, but it's rubber so I don't think it would work to actually hold the awning in place. I had to replace my entire awning due to sun damage. It wasn't rather easy to do with a helper and there are lots of videos explaining how. I used this to cover all the seems and patch a couple places on my roof and it seems to stick well as long as you clean the area well first with paint thinner.
