Unhappy Shrink wrap repair

When I was trying to clean the 2 feet of snow off my boat I noticed 2 small tears on my shrink wrap. Does anybody know if there is something I can use to cover that. I dont want any moisture to get in and the tears are not very big. I should of left the snow alone!

    Duct tape should work okay.

    duct tape does not always hold. call the installer and buy some shrink wrap tape or call your local marina i am sure they will have it. when you put the tape on cross 2 pieces it works better that way and if possible use a hair dryer.

    i should have told you also if the hole is big enough and you can get a piece of wrap and tape, place the wrap on the original wrap and hold it down with 4 pieces of tape like a patch. heat the tape till it shrinks and then heat the new piece of wrap. that will be a perfect repair
