 Topic: Sealer for leaky 176T tent?Posted: 13 Nov 2014 at 8:34pm |

We have the 176T with the fold-out bed on the back - the "tent" not the rdome. The tent canvas above our bed has leaked once during a day-long rain (not a lot but enough to make the pillows wet). Any suggestions for a spray sealer to waterproof the canvas?

I confess I'm not up on the latest & greatest products to seal tent fabrics but I do remember from my tenting days that, during a rain, you always want to avoid touching the fabric from inside the tent. The conventional wisdom used to be that even the best tents could be made to leak. I'm sure fabrics are better now, though. Hope you get the problem solved.

Never had a problem with the "sunbrella" canvas on our pup, the stuff used on campers is much thicker than your average tent. However, seams certainly can leak. I would use some tent seam sealer on it. I always pre-treated backpacking tents with it.
