Sure you can’t use a (steam) iron to reapply it?
I have reattached tape inside waterproof trousers by heating the tape/glue back together with the steam iron.

Pretty sure not due to the material? I read one blog says once it has gone it is done for:

Seam sealing fails on all tarps eventually and it's usually no big deal, in the field you can usually easily repair with something like Stormsure Tuff Tape or my long time favourite McNett Tenacious Tape or even a temporary repair with a decent Duct tape, then do a more permanent repair at home with McNett Seamgrip Not so with silnylon though, hardly anything sticks to it with any kind of half decent waterproof bond. A fairly decent and permanent repair to silnylon can be had using McNett SilNet but it's by no means a field expedient solution and does not solve the issue of the tarp dipping down at the seam (which can get pretty annoying on multiple nights out).
So any repair will be temporary at best it seems?

If it is Silnylon, then Landslide's suggestion of thinning clear silicon with white spirits and painting the gloop on with a foam brush is the best way.
Much cheaper than McNett's Silnet.

Trouble in paradise... old alpkit tarp, seam tape failed.
What's the best diy repair option?
