Step 2

• Grab your repair tape.
• Flip the repair tape to the back side.
• Using a permanent marker, draw an oval slightly larger than the hole.
• If you have a wide hole, you can use a rectangle, but be sure to round the edges. Rounding the edges prevents the corners from getting caught and peeling up.

• Using your fingernail, or a pin, peel the backing off the tenacious tape, so that you only have the clear sticky layer.
• Be sure not to touch the sticky side of the tape as this will gum up the tape and it won’t stick well.

I followed this tutorial and used Tenacious tape by Gear Aid because it claims to not leave a residue behind if removed. That was a bad idea. I am now ready to upgrade this patch to a sewn one and removing the tape is absolutely leaving behind a residue. Really annoyed right now.
