Is this a good product for sealing seams in a new pop-up tent? Thank you, Paula

I am purely speculating but I would likely not use this for the flexible seams in a pop up tent. I would feel more comfortable going with one of the aerosol type sealers. My concern with this sealant for that purpose would be the thickness of application and maintenance of flexibility and adhesion over time.

Google " how to fold a popup portable tent" there is a YouTube video. Amazon removed the link I had in my review for it. It takes 2 seconds once you watch the video.

Vinyl Waterbed/ Air Mattress Repair KitGreat produce. Used it on my Mattress and it sealed the hole. Just make sure you following thedirections step by step. Important get all the air bubbles pressed out completely from around the area you are mending.

I do not feel you would get good results with this product. It is not at all flexible and doesn't really seal all that good. I especially feel it would be very disappointing where air is involved. I hope this helps out

You must seal the seams. The tent instructions even recommend this. The tent fabric is treated with silicone, the seams are not. The rain comes in through the stitching on the seams. Use a silicone spray, generously over ALL seams, inside and out. I seal the seams on all of my tents every year; I own 5 tents.

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

I think it would be good to use on any camper or mobile home roof to help stop a leak, especially at a seam, but it would also be a good idea to seal around the edges of the EternaBond with a bead of DiCor sealant. That's what I did on my aluminum camper roof and it worked like a charm.

The inner tent is all mesh as you see in the photo. I have not had the tent in an extreme rainfall yet, but it has worked well in moderate rainfalls. However I did seam seal the entire "flat area" on the top of the tent. This "flat area" is my only concern with this tent. But the seam seal did appear to work. In addition I always spray all my tent flys with Camp Dry or similar product.

The product makes a mess. Any repairs or sealing that you do, one needs to spray the product in a tin can and use a brush to seal. I have used the variety of flex seal products. For a sealing/protective job, I would by-pass the aforementioned product. Gorilla glue is a great product.

As with all tents its reccomended to use seam sealer on all your seams before you use it ...other than that awesome tent I love mine

It did rain (heavy thunderstorms) the day of our grad party, and there were some small places of leakage. We did not use the sides. I also bought another pop up tent, like a 10 by 12 or something, and it had heavier canvas-like top, whereas this could be described at more tent material. Nylon I guess. I would think that if you sprayed it with a tent sealer, it might do a better job. I'm not sure if I would buy again, but it was easy to set up, and it did the job and can be reused.

Amy.....I have a tree/ghost blow up that we put out at Halloween and there is one spot on it that breaks every year. I actually just hand sew the parts together and it has worked fine. When we think of inflatables we don't typically think of sewing, but that might work. I am guessing that it is one of the tabs that you hook the lines through or that you put the tent peg through. I would try to sew it back on.......as long as it is not torn, it should work fine. If it is just the cables or tie downs that you need......try a camping store for tent replacement parts.

I would think that this is not the optimum application for this particular product. I used it on rivets on my aluminum boat and it sealed completely.

Just recently bought and set up but not experienced exposure to rain. Spray all the seams with a can of silicon spray. That's what I do with all my tents

i suppose so. it is good stuff. it is probably not the best for filling holes, but good for sealing leaks and small gaps.

Yes, I have used this product on a canvas tent, and stickiness or stiffness. Works great!

If the surface is clean it will work well. I used this on a tent surface (not nylon, but military style tent) that was dirty, it held for a while but comes off every now and then, so I re-stick it, and it seems to hold for a week or so again. This is the best Duct style tape I have found though, so I would recommend it.
