I have just bought a 'new' to me me (but about 20 years old, Force ten Mark 5 that has been adapted so it has a porch extention. I have a standard Mk 5 before. However, having used it for the for the first time the last 2 weeks - it leaks - my old one never did. I waterproofed it before I went with Fabsil. So.... should I:
1) Add more layers (did 1 side with 1 layer of Fabsil gold and the other with 2 coats normal fabsil- Gold SO much better BTW)
2) Add a coat of wax
3) somehow try to remove the silicone which I suspect may not have been a good move and allow the fibres to swell. If so - how should I do this?
The lady I bought if from said she never waterproofed it as her dad sold these tents and advised against it.
Advice very welcome.
Thank you
