Which glue to use to repair a tent outer?
In strong wind (and bad tent placement) on the top of a hill, one of my tent poles snapped. I've subsequently replaced it. But the snapped pole has put a hole though one of the pole guides on the tent outer. My tent comes with a "repair" kit including scrapes of material to fix the outer but no glue.
what glue should I use?
The tent is a Vango Cyclone 200+ from about 2010. The outer is laminated nylon I guess though it doesn't say. I'm wary of using a glue that will melt the plastic fibres but I also want one that will seal the hole quite securely as it will need to resist the tent pole pushing though the hole when erecting.

SilNet Seam Sealer is designed to seal the seams on nylon flysheets and can also be used glue to repair the same. See http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/tents-and-spares/all-tent-accessories/seam-sealer-glue/ for more information.
Alternatively, you could get Vango to repair the flysheet for you: http://www.vango.co.uk/gb/content/28-aftersales
