Tent repairs.

My Apollo 3 x 3 tent is getting a janky zipper after 5 years. I think some Velcro and a hot glue gun might do the trick. It is the best tent I've got, way heavier than the rest of mine! I'd love some insight from anyone who has fixed this problem. Thanx. (y)
Parifin may help.
The clasp piece can usually be replaced too.
 
I’m seriously considering framing in a doorway on my 4x4 with 2 x 2? and hang a cheap hollow core door.
Just make sure when doing diy tents/grow rooms to use greenhouse/grow room plastic , why ? = grow plastic/greenhouse plastic the water won’t retain and they are waterproof like panada film and similiar . 10+ years ago I did my flower room v1 in all framed board + hardware store black plastic = it made outside aka Lung room high rh and promote moldy zone… it’s not like price is worth skipping getting grow grade
 
Here is my solution, thanks for all the insight! I glued a piece of panda film to a 1x4 at the top and bottom, I glued a few Velcro strips along the way down the tent and on the new panda door to match up. I set 1 of the glued 1x4's on the top of the tent, and I roll up the 1x4 at the bottom enough to put downward tension on the film. Just need to be sensitive with the Velcro/ panda film contacts.
 
1000000166.jpg1000000167.jpg@Rozgreenburn I also have a jacked up tent with some janky zippers. The right side stopped moving so I had to cut straight down the flap and the other side is well, what you see is on a semi good day lol. I have to drape panda film down the entire front. I have a 2 1/2 lb plate on the top corners of the tent holding the panda film from falling off. The suction from the exhaust fan helps pull it against the tent at the holes. Glad you got yours figured out. Hopefully this helps someone who needs it.
 
Ooh yeah I can't wait to try these.

I can not imagine life as cheap phucker, and NOT own one of these, great tools.
Super easy to use, and I've repair all types of stuff.
I can not remember all the times, this handy tool kept me from replacing an item when a repair would just fine.
Love mine!
