Step 1

              How can I seal the seam stitching on my ultralight tent?               
  • Seal all seam intersecting points on the tent fly, i.e. tent suspension, door straps, etc. on the front and back side. If desired, spread more Sil Net between the straps as well. Use the brush on the tube and evenly spread a thin layer of Sil Net on all seam intersections.
  • The tent material should be dry as well as free of dust and oil . Clean the outer fly in advance with a damp towel if necessary.
  • Spread out the tent and allow the silicone sections to cure for 24 hours.
