How To Waterproof Tent Seams with Seam Sure
- Clean and dry all surfaces.
- Remove old seam sealer with stiff bristle brush and isopropyl alcohol.
- Shake well before use. Remove inner foil. Pull brush top open.
- Squeeze bottle gently and apply a thin, even film to stitching on coated side of fabric (or inside of item). Use brush to work into needle holes, sewn joints, corners and under lap-felled and folded seams.
- Clean drips and excess with damp cloth.
- Allow to fully dry before use or folding (minimum 2 hours at room temperature; longer if colder). Test for dryness before use.
CLEAN-UP & STORAGE: Close brush top and wash bristles with soap and water immediately after use; stiff bristles may be loosened with lacquer thinner. Store in a cool, dry place.
Special Applications & Tips
Tent Seam Sealing:
Perimeter seams on ‘seam taped’ tents are not factory sealed and require sealing. Apply a thin film of SeamSure to inside floor seams (fig.1). Allow to dry overnight.
Use SeamSure to seal areas that regularly leak, such as stake-out points at corners (fig. 2).
To seal the seams on your rainfly, set it up inside-out for easier application. Attach the rainfly to the tent so all seams are taut (fig. 3).
