Best bet would be to phone a tarp/sail maker and see what they recommend. Wouldn't use sticks like as it sets hard but could use contact adhesive

Reckon Araldite would stick a patch down on canvas fairly well.

I have previously used windscreen bond (the black stuff that pant glass is stuck in with). It remains semi-flexible (prevents vibration being transmitted to glass) and is impossible to remove. Make sure everything is clean and dry first and the bonding agent must be applied hot (or you won't even get it out of the tube). Keep pressure on for a good few hours and it will be there forever.

I have only ever used this on the 'wagon sheets' of old though.

Oh, it's not cheap either...

Try this, duck tape one side of split, glue the other. Have used it to repair, pants, boots, waterproofs. The item usually falls apart before the repair goes.

I found some stuff called vinylweld which I have used to good effect on the seat of the quad after some divvy had a reel of barbed wire riding pillion. I think that wagon tarps are pvc so a solvent cement would do the job but you need a patch to stick over the hole.

tearaid brill stuff depending on size of hole

i use it on underwater lift bags

This stuff will stick just about anything to anything. Its Polyurathane and is used to stick body panels to cars.

It is petrol resistant and will repair holes and splits in fuel tanks, and is ideal for blobbing onto a damaged plug cap to avoid those elbow shocks. I would never be without it
