In the end the job cost me roughly 80 bucks. 30 for the speedy stitcher from amazon and about 50 for the the silicone coated fiberglass which I obtained from "Ripstop by the Roll" (shipping was a bummer) and I only used a small portion of the material ordered so far.
I was more looking for some input as to an adhesive that would work for the silifibre to tarp I cover the wall tent with so I could avoid getting it set up and placed before I take it out next month. I'm hoping to set up the tent and get the hole cut in the tarp and just stick the stove jack on for a few days and then stitch it in later.

Glad the stitcher worked out well. First couple of times takes a little longer till you learn exactly how to do it. One trick is to mark the stitch points with a ruler to get real even stitches.
As far as temp attaching the plate to the awning any adhesive will work. The glue will not get very hot, if it did the canvas tarp would burn. Just glue the plate around its edges for the trip then sew it in place. Having it glued will make sewing easier anyhow.
