Did my seams last year sometime after July.
Anyhow took the tent away this whitsun to find most of the seal is peeling off.I used the outwell brand that Towsure seel and storm seal and some other stuff recomended for fabric from Wilko.
What did do wrong?? ans should it be peeling off in less then a year?Oh this was on the outside i may add.

Hi
Seam sealer is applied on the inside

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

As far as I am aware all seals must be done from the inside, that might be your problem as to why it is coming off, hope this helps.

Is it OK to use seam sealer on a polycotton (bear lake) ?
