To the OP, I would say the problem is long gone, and it appears all was well at the last count, back in Sept 2010!!

To the newer poster, re their Vango Beta XL, firstly, I'd say ignore any previous posts (before yours) as they refer to a cotton canvas tent. Indeed, it appears some posts after yours also refer to canvas (The perils of resurrecting an old thread!)
Yours appears to be a man-made polyester tent, No?   Totally different animals!

Secondly, I'd ask why you say you "need" to waterproof it?
Is it merely because it may be old/used? Are you certain it is actually leaking and/or not waterproof?
If you're not 100% certain, set it up in the garden, wait for it to rain, or get the hose pipe on it, and soak every square inch of the external surface... then come back to us if there is any water ingress, and take note of where the water is getting in.
Leaks to the stitching/seams require a different approach to leaks through the actual fly-sheet.

No action is needed, nor indeed advised, if there are no signs of leaks. Check it our first!
