About GEAR AID Seam Grip TF Tent Fabric Sealer for Waterproofing
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
75% found it easy to apply
I found that the best way to apply the product is to pour it into a measuring cup and use the applicator. Dip it into the cup to wet it and make quick back and forth motions on small areas at a time.
The applicator built into the bottle makes it easy for me to apply the hardware-sealer without any trouble.
I found it easy to apply the hardware-sealer and refreshed my entire tent with a single bottle. The floor took me about 40 minutes and the rain fly took about an hour.

76% appreciated its moisture resistance
I found that the product works by painting on an extremely thin layer which closes the pores of the fabric and makes it waterproof.
66% appreciated its fast drying time, but 34% had to wait too long
After two days of drying in the shade with temperatures over 80 degrees, the product is still tacky.
77% liked its flexibility, but 23% found it too rigid
Gear aid is easy to apply and covers a large surface area. I refreshed an entire tent with a single bottle, doing the floor in about 40 minutes and the rain fly in about an hour.
The design of the sealant bottle is clever to prevent leaks, but it can be difficult to use without understanding its mechanism.
I suggest designing a system with an applicator two to three times the size.
66% praised for its long shelf life
I am happy with the shelf life of this tent sealant as it has allowed me to breathe new life into my old gear and I think my tent will perform great now.
After using the product, it has not rained on any of my campouts.
