| N.B. McNett has changed its brand name to Gear Aid - The Silnet product name has changed to Seam Grip + Sil Seal Silnylon Tent Seams and Stay Dry
Applications tips: For best results in sealing tarps and tents, pitch the shelter taut on a warm, sunny day and wipe down the area with cleaning alcohol and wait for it to dry. Warmth decreases the viscosity of Seam Grip + Sil and encourages a better flow and seal. If the weather is not on your side, place the tube of Seam Grip + Sil (sealed) in a bowl of warm water and heat the seam to be sealed with a hairdryer before applying it. Repeat as necessary. Before you start you may wish to purchase a few stiff stipple brushes from a craft shop (the type children use), as once the Seam Grip + Sil starts to cure on the brush it becomes hard to apply it neatly. NB: Always check with the sil-shelter/tent manufacturer/retailer for advice as to which side of the seam to seal. See our How To video for tips.

18 March 2014 | Ken A great product and excellent service (as usual). However I have never seam sealed a tent before and I did not find it as easy as some clearly did despite reading the guidance and looking at a few videos on You Tube. I feel an old school report coming on - "tries hard but could do better". Obviously need more practice! 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
