I just received my Bear Paw tarp and am looking to attach three loops of light cord inside to attach a clothes line and hang light weight stuff.
Here is my plan and would appreciate any feedback.
I have cuben tape and will cut a tiny hole in the center of a small square piece. Peel off the tape backing and insert both ends of a very short piece of 1mm cord through the non sticky side of the tape and splay the ends on the sticky side. I will put Seam Grip on about 1/3 inch of both cord ends, splay them, and attach the tape with loop to the tarp. I hope this makes sense.
FYI, the only reason I’m putting Seam Grip on the cord ends is to glue them down so they don’t pull out.
Thanks,
