How to use the Tarpaulin Repair Kit to add and replace tarpaulin fixing eyelets
 |
Step 1 - Cut a new hole in tarpaulin
Use the hole cutter to cut a hole for the new eyelet. Place the cutter in the desired position, and strike hard with a hammer to pierce a hole in the tarpaulin. Do this on a hard surface that you don't mind marking!

Step 2 - Insert bottom half of eyelet
Put the bottom half of the eyelet in the eyelet holder. The lower half is the larger part of the eyelet with the raised centre which you pass through the underneath of the hole in your tarpaulin.

Step 3 - Position top half of eyelet
Place the upper ring part of eyelet over the lower part of the eyelet which is protruding through the tarpaulin. The upper ring has a recessed ridge around the inside - this must be facing up.

Step 4 - Fix new eyelet in place
Position the eyelet punch tool over the top of the new eyelet and into the hole in the centre through to the eyelet holder underneath. Again with the eyelet on a hard surface, strike hard with a hammer to fix the eyelet in place.
