@@HardyBunster seam sealer is the bane of my life lol, it gets everywhere 😂 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍🏻

I just tried it, works perfect! Thankyou so much😊 for this fantastic useful video! My tend has 25m (perhaps much more) of seal tape, so this would be expensive to completely renew this.

[@trooperwolfie]

I'm glad it worked well for you👍🏻 thanks for watching and commenting, it's much appreciated 👍🏻

[@Tsamados]

Cheers im going to give this a go. My seam has come off practically 90% on the door of my tent.

[@trooperwolfie]

I hope it works ok for you, thanks for watching and commenting ☺️

[@Tsamados]

@@trooperwolfie jworked a charm, I did crumble up one tiny bit of the seam where I was a bit over zealous. But apart from that it was all good. Cheers!

[@RaysUserName]

Thank you! I have two tents to do this to!!!

No worries, thanks for watching and commenting 😁

Whow I have lifting tape on a 20year old lightwave tent. I did not know this was possible. Only heard about tape replacement. Thx.

[@trooperwolfie]

My pleasure, give this a go before totally replacing the tape, it depends what condition the tape is in, but if it's in fair condition the glue on the original tape tends to stick better than new modern tape for some reason.

[@grumpfcatarso2453]

Very helpfully, will try with my Bulli tend.👍

Aup mate, with new seems do you iron on, and about a previous comment, im sure the grease proof does have two sides-a paper fiber side and a film side i pressume its film side down.

[@trooperwolfie]

Hello there, my grease proof paper is the same both sides, I've never had a problem with tape sticking. With new seams, it depends on the material, if it's sil-nylon you need to use silicon sealant and brush it on. If it's P.U. coated on the inside you can use new seam tape. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

[@MrLamphy]

@trooperwolfie well that is a good question it's Hytex SPU-SLDR Nylon (the old tbs micro). I'm lead to believe it is a more polyester thing.

[@MrLamphy]

If it feels more than an old balloon I'll have to throw silicon sealant also on the glue of the seams?

[@trooperwolfie]

@@MrLamphy only if it's sil nylon, if it's pu coated nylon, just use tape 👍🏻

[@trooperwolfie]

@@MrLamphy test a small piece of tape, if it sticks properly after being ironed on, it's pu coated, if it doesn't stick, it's sil nylon 👍🏻

[@justmyopiniontoday7548]

Pls does the greased side of the paper go against the tent seam or ungreased paper side? Thx.

[@trooperwolfie]

It's grease proof paper, you want to use new unused paper without any grease on. It doesn't stick to the tent or tape. Any grease proof/baking parchment should do the trick, I hope this helps.
