I have a set of Cabelas MT050 and Space Rain pants that have a few small holes. I've fixed one hole before in the MT050 with I think silicone but that was years ago. Any ideas? I found the holes with a flashlight so it should be easy to fix them with whatever the right stuff is. Thanks.
 
I have fixed a 5" tear in a rain fly and large tears in my kuiu rain pants with this stuff. I don't go backpacking without it now.

As already mentioned,,

Gear Aid Tenacious Tape

Tyvek Tape

Aqua Seal for long term repairs and the UV version for field repairs. The UV version dries in seconds when exposed to sunlight the regular Aqua seal takes 24 hours or so. Dries clear and flexible, about the best stuff ever!!!!

Use the tape on the back side and lay flat and run a small bead of AS to cover the tear and allow to dry.

Thanks for the tips. the MT050 is multi layered so the tape might not work so well on the outside (there's a mesh backing that makes it hard to use tape on). I'll look into aqua seal. Come to think of it won't tent seam sealer work too?
