Gorilla Tape, or a tent seam repair kit. Most outdoor stores carry them. They have a special tape and glue that are water proof.

That's what I was thinking.

I have lived 50 years and have come to the conclusion: 90% of the world's problems could be solved with duct tape and/or WD40

As soon as you said "tarp" I thought " NO WAY"! This sounds like a disaster project to me, and I would turn it down. But, heh, forewarned is forarmed, so make your own decision.
