Will 1oz be enough to seal two three-person tents?

1 oz won't come close. I have tried this product and I returned it for a refund because it stays sticky & never dries completely. The company doesn't guarantee it will work & recommends sprinkling Baby Powder on it to help it dry. Baby Powder?! I highly recommend E6000 as a seam sealer (3.7 oz. on line at Walmart for $5); it costs 1/2 as much for 4 times the sealer compared to products advertised as "seam sealers" It dries fast, stays flexible, but is tough & protects the seams. Cons? Because it does dry fast, be ready to work quick to smooth it out & it has a funky chemical odor that will go away in a couple of weeks. Have Acetone ready to clean your fingers.

Best best results get a spray can of tent seam sealer and coat the stitching across the top, they seem to drip a small amount in the stitching.

Yes if your tent legs are straight. Most tent legs are angled in which case the top one might not screw down. If you use them full of Sand instead of water you should not need two sets

I second what Chief says 100%. I put 2 coats of silicone on mine, 2 coats of seam sealer and I'm looking for a tarp. Nice tent but they didn't finish the job.

I have not used it in cold weather yet but it seals up very well and should work fine.I really like the tent and use it for back packing trips.It is light weight and easy to set up.I only use it for me only it would be a little tight for two.At 6-feet tall,I sleep in it at an angle which gives me plenty of leg room.Two tall people would be rather cramped.Regards,Dennis

Absolutely! If you don't have some air coming in the tent eventually the oxygen will be used up. You just can't have an airtight tent or you will wake up dead. It's great for heat and very efficient.

Not quite sure. I've used it on my backpack, my coat and my eureka one person tent. These three things were pretty much "waterproof" already and weren't something that breathes much anyway. Sorry I couldn't be more help. It does do a great job of waterproofing however.

I would say a pint can will seal a 1 gallon tank 2 coats, otherwise one coat only on a 2 gallon tank

I use mylar and find them extreemly durable and they work well with the heatsealer. Poly bags are more fragile and can melt too much on the heat sealer. They are cheeper. If you are not looking at long term storage or using for back packing or camping than poly may be OK for you. I just prefer Mylar. Bying it in large quantities saves money and gets the cost down a bit.

Thank you for that information. I was worried that the tent ducts might be a little too tight. But a snug fit will suit me perfectly. Thanks again.

We just used a liquid sealant from the sporting goods store. Coghlan's Tent Seam Sealer

I have never tried but I might hesitate with the 2 poly thickness of these. They are pretty durable and I know a sealer works, but to shrink to the product, I'm sorry but I don't know. Wish I could be of more help.

If you are using the Coleman Sundome tent, you wont have to worry about the floor because its s plastic type floor almost like a tarp. Trust me on thst cause I was in a "monsoon" my first trip out and with high winds and my tent stayed bone dry. Still, put a tarp under it. As far as the seams, there is a rainfly which protects but if you are really concerned, get a larger tarp and use that like I did for an extra rainfly. Supposedly, though, this tent wont need it but all my friends were getting tarps for their tents and told me to do the same so I did. If you still wish to seal the seams, i would contact the Coleman company directly and ask. Putting snything on it might interfere with what is already in the material.

All by itself the tent is not completely watertight. Testing with a brand-new tent showed that a small amount of water got in. Very good for a single-layer tent, but since I wanted an absolutely dry tent in the worst conditions, I have added a 10x12 tarp. 8 extra stakes holds the tarp down, 4 on each end. To hold the tarp to the tent, I added 2 large grommets to go over the stakes at each end of the tarp, meaning, actually, the sides. Result is a very dark and somewhat stuffy but absolutely dry tent. Oh, one more thing, I had to reinforce the tarp fabric where I put the large grommets on, by putting on a couple of layers of duck tape first before cutting the grommet holes.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

We sure do. We have a self-seal combo with these 4 sizes: 100 9x12, 100 11x14, 100 14x20 & 100 18x24. Type this ASIN in the Amazon search: B00HQOQO94

I use this for my pop up shop and it is truly amazing. Get some camping tent seam sealer and take the time to seal the seams. It,s pretty light weight and you would need to weight it down to keep in from blowing away.
