Cut open underbelly

I did a quick forum search for the answer, but in my limited forum knowledge, not sure I searched for the right thing, so here goes:
I had an issue under the TT and the dealer had to cut into the sealed underbelly. All the way across, side to side. I don't think it was ever sealed up correctly and now I have a gaping hole in the underbelly. I tried a very sticky tape (chew tape) that is used in chemical plants but it never held for more than ten miles down the road.
What can I use to seal up the underbelly. I now have. Mouse and ant problem.
Thanks

  • Black Gorilla Tape also, I've even used it on a wet service and stuck like glue.
  • I had a squirrel problem. Why I did was cut it open to clean out the junk and replace the insulation. I left as much of the tarp up as I could and stapled it back up. Went to a sign shop and got a 4x8 sheet of coroplast for about $15 some large washers and screws along with silicone and clear gorilla tape. I cut the coroplast to fit so it would wedge underneath the frame as much as possible put a big washer on with a screw covered in silicone and screwed it up. Big washer was so it would not pop through the plastic. I took the clear gorilla tape and coverd all the screws and also ran it around the perimeter to seal it up. Worked pretty good.
  • I used black gorilla tape as well. Been there 2 years. Awesome stuff. Duct tape did not work....

    X's 2! I applied some Gorilla Tape to a small tear on mine and it has held tight for almost two years. Depending on the size of the cut, you may have to use overlapping strips, but it will hold.


    x3

    One slice sealed up with Gorilla, the other sealed up with Henkel "original" Duct-Tape... both are holding no problems
