I second this. Worked well for me. Even was able to match color.

I just put a board on one side of the tent and ironed from the other.

It doesn't have to be seamstress quality (basically, you just have to be able to run a big needle with thread through some fabric) but it is a lot better than adhesives - trust me. I have been babying a popup for years and the sew jobs are tight. Second, if I get tear that isn't good for sewing and needs adhesive, I have an old BBQ cover that is the same type of fabric (roughly) as the pop-up. Either sew it on or use shoe goo. Last go into Fabric Land and look what they have (the ladies love it when you show up in full camo - believe me). They carry all kinds of nylon strapping, tent-quality thread, and dernier cloth that can be used for repairs.
