We are just back from a weekends camping on the edge or Dartmoor where we had quite a bit of rain. Our Vango Taiga 500 Airbeam leaked quite a lot around the seams where the tent roof/walls join the airbeam tubes. Quite a few drips came through and a lot of water ran down the airbeam tubes forming pools at the bottom. I'm planning to seam seal all the joins between the roof/walls and the tubes. Any suggestions on a decent seam sealer?

Before using a seam sealant solution just buy a tin of proofing spray like Fabsil. Then give the seams on the inside a good spray. The spray will get in behind any parts of the heat tape that might of come away slightly
