Hi friends,
We had a great big land clearing fire and apparently it was too close to our R Dome. I have a few small holes where sparks got to it. Anyway, I am going to order a tent patching kit and wondered if anybody had any advice.
Thanks

I have patched lots of tents-not necessarily the Rdome. but it is similar. Most tent repair tape has adhesive on one side-that is preferred over tape that requires separate glue.
clean the area well with denatured/rubbing alcohol and let it dry.  Lay the material out flat.If possible, patch both sides. press down hard and rub it with a roller or some similar object-make sure the patch is well stuck.  Putting weight on the area for 24 hours will help.
Good luck
