  • Product Info

    Specially formulated for sealing seams on tents and other outdoor products constructed or coated with silicone, such as silicone treated nylon. Silnet may also be used as an in-field repair material for moderate rips, tears and areas of abrasion. Available in 1 1/2 oz. Blister Pack.


  • Instructions for Use

     

    Apply from tube or with brush.


    Seam Sealing:


    1) CLEAN surfaces with isopropyl alcohol.

    How it works –

      FAQ: What’s the difference between Sil Net, Seam Grip and Sil Fix?

      Sil Net™ – is our silicone-based seam sealer for all silicone treated fabrics. When applied to seams it will ‘self-level’ creating a smooth sealed seam. Sil Net is the best product to use to create good looking sealed seams on sil nylon tents, tarps and other items. Sil Net has only modest repair adhesive qualities (OK for pinholes). Sil Net won’t bond properly to non-siliconized fabrics.

      Sil Fix™ – is our silicone-based repair adhesive for all silicone treated fabrics. It is a much stronger repair adhesive than Sil Net. Sil Fix is the best product to use for repairing tears, holes and damaged seams in sil nylon fabrics. Sil Fix won’t self level however, so it is not intended for seam sealing (it would leave a wavy, uneven finish). Sil Fix won’t bond properly to non-siliconized fabrics.

      Seam Grip® –is a urethane-based seam sealer and repair adhesive. Seam Grip is the best product to seal and repair all types of fabrics except those treated with silicone. Seam Grip self levels to create a good looking sealed seam. It is also an extremely strong repair adhesive. Seam Grip permanently seals and repairs tent, backpack, outerwear and footwear fabrics including PU coated fabrics, Gore Tex® fabric and more. Seam Grip won’t bond properly to sil nylon or other silicone treated fabrics.

  • Testimonials

      "I used this to seal the seams on my pack cover, and it worked great. 2 days of wet snow while backpacking on the NCT and my osprey stayed dry. Perfect for use on tents as well. TIP: you may want to buy a couple of extra brushes (available at any hardware store) and work quickly. This stuff sets up fast."- Chicago, IL

  • Boot Use Tip

    Boot Use Tip

    TRUE OR FALSE? Heavy duty mountain boots are obsolete for backpacking. True. But while the ultralight backpacking crowd (carrying 20 lb. packs) get by on trails using trail running shoes or even good sport sandals, most folks carrying heavier loads should have some ankle support. Well-made light hikers with a 3/4 or full-height ankle collar are usually enough for moderate loads on most trails.
