Seam Grip FC Seam Sealant

I recently used this sealant on a tent with some pretty bad seams, and it worked wonders. Applying it was a breeze. It went on smoothly and dried quickly, which was a relief since I was on a tight schedule. What impressed me the most was how well it sealed the seams. They feel sturdier now, and I’m confident this sealant will outlast the tent itself. However, there are a couple of things to note. While the application was straightforward, the 2 oz size might not be enough if you have a larger tent or multiple items to repair. I only had a few and I used quite a bit. I may have not required that much, but I wanted to be sure. Also, it’s important to apply it carefully to avoid any mess since it’s quite sticky. Lastly, I’m really pleased with how effectively and quickly this fixed the seams on my Montana tent. It’s a handy product to have for any camping enthusiast dealing with seam issues.

It is a great product, thin enough to penetrate stitching, seals well, dries fast and its long lasting. I have been using it for many years and highly recommend it.

I used this on the seams of our canopy to waterproof it for our camping trips. The application process was messy...the bottle leaked, a lot, when rubbing the brush along the seams...however, the seal was extremely effective. It rained twice on our trip and everything under the canopy stayed perfectly dry. So you'll need patience in using this applicator, but the result is worth it!

Works.easy to apply.if your going to close bottle to use another day make sure to clean brush or it will be hard next time.

Experienced heavy rain and noted all the spots it leaked thru the boat canvas top (and stitching lines). Found this, applied and at the next rain (almost as heavy)....NO Drips. Easy to put on. minimally visible (from the top where you can't see it anyway. Flexible. Will touch it up before next season.

I got caught in a torrential downpour in Hawaii, and my 20 year old Sierra Designs tent that had never leaked let a puddle accumulate. I used this on the fly and the base of the tent, and it stayed dry with a solid hose test and in a fairly strong (but brief) rain last weekend camping. In all fairness, I also re-coated the fabric, so I'm not sure which had the leak to begin with. The other reviews really trashed the applicator, so I wanted to say my piece on that. I felt like it worked ok. Not great, but ok. If you want your seams to look perfect, maybe use a small sponge applicator (maybe from the paint section at your hardware store or something from an art store). For a garment, this may be too messy. For a tent, it was fine. I just used a moist rag to clean up a few drips and runs. It wasn't factory-perfect, but it was good enough for a tent. Instead of ripping off the seal on the bottle, try puncturing it finely. I ripped it off and felt like the applicator tip was fine, but the flow of liquid was too fast, leading to drips. If I could have slowed it down, it would have been much better. Also, use a strong headlamp. The more light you have, the easier it will be to see what you're doing. I did this in a carport on a fairly dark day. I was ok doing the rain fly, but when I went inside the tent, it was too dark. When I added more light, I found it was a lot easier to get the right amount of liquid on. In the dark, I was over-applying, and it was messier. Note that the bottle has some scary health messages about this, so use caution. I put on safety glasses and rubber gloves to apply.

Very water like consistency and needs multiple coats for a solid seal

I bought this to reseal the seams on my 30 yr old Jansport tent. I believe the product itself will perform well as far as sealing the seams. However, I can't give full stars because of the delivery mechanism. The instructions say the product is for application to the interior of the tent. The product is in a small plastic bottle with a brush on the top which means the product is meant to be fed to the brush via gravity with bottle inverted. Unfortunately, this doesn't work if you have set up the tent in order to have all seams exposed for efficiency of application and curing. In other words, you wouldn't have an inverted bottle when applying to the ceiling seams. I would recommend a rub-on stick (like deodorant) or a system like a stain stick where the applicator tip is spring-loaded and holds a quantity of product for application at any angle. If you buy, plan on flipping your tent inside out on a large-enough flat surface. Then, treat your seams in sections to avoid smearing treated sections due to shifting fabric.

Excellent product. Seam sealed my tent. Very easy to use. Use a small paint brush instead not the brush provided. Would recommend this product.

Sello muy bien las costuras de nuestra casa de campaña

I used Seam Grip FC on the seams of my camping tent and it worked perfectly. Super easy to apply with the built-in brush, dried fast (about 2 hours for me), and left a clean, barely noticeable finish. Since then, even after heavy rain, not a single drop got inside! One small tube goes a long way — I sealed the roof and side seams with no issue. Highly recommended if you need to quickly seal or reinforce tent seams before heading out on an adventure.

Very easy and quick to apply to a seam, no-matter the changing line direction of the seam. Easy to see where the fluid has been applied, as the track of the application is slightly glossy in appearance. It is possible for some of the fluid to escape through stitching (as the consistency of the fluid is very watery), so check it has not gone seeped through; and if it has remove it. For the same reason, be aware that if the fluid does leak through and is left to set, that it will bond with various even slightly porous surfaces. One bottle of this fluid was sufficient to cover the seams of my entire extra large raincoat with some fluid left over. The end-results have been great.

Vor kurzem habe ich "Tenacious Tape" bestellt. Bekommen habe ich "Seam Sure", ein anderes Produkt von Gear Aid. Daraufhin habe ich eine Rezension geschrieben die diese unglueckliche Verwechslung wiederspiegelt, Mit anderen Worten, eine "Eins" was auch berechtigt war. Es stellte sich aber heraus, das dass ganze ein Fehler in der Beschreibung durch Amazon war, und nicht des Verkaeufers. Aber einen Tag spaeter rief mich der Verkaeufer ( aus Kalifornien ) an und wollte wissen warum ich unzufrieden mit dem Produkt war. Nach einem laengeren Gespraech wurde uns klar wo der Fehler lag und der Verkaeufer versprach es zu beheben. Und siehe da, heute kam das bestellte "Tenacious Tape" mit der Post. Das nennt sich "Exemplarische Customer Service". Man traeumt von solchen Firmen die das Belangen des Kunden so in den Vordergrund stellen. Nach dieser Erfahrung wuerde ich sofort wieder von Dolphin Scuba Center in Sacramento bestellen. Eine 5 als Bewertung reicht nicht aus um meine Zufriedenheit auszudruecken.
