I am preparing my stuff for the TN Classic and need to re-waterproof my tent at the seams. Anyone have any recommendations as I've not had much luck with the last few I have tried. Thanks!

I have used Camp Dry spray and it seemed to work on the fabric itself... I dont know about the seams.  I hope it doesn't rain as much this year as it did last year...  :)

Throw a blue tarp over it :)

Actually I've been lucky haven't gotten wet at the Classic yet, I bring a cot so I'm off the ground had a crick flowing under my cot most of last year :D

 The weather forecast calls for no rain this year. ::)

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

 Jeff, for the price of a blue tarp, you can go to the Hardware store and buy a 100'x20' roll of Bisquene plastic. With some duc tape you can seal thet tent up.

go to your local outfitter/camping store

they sell a product just for sealing seams on tenst and such,cant remember what it is called off hand
comes in a little tube if i remember right
other than that,camp dry works awesome on the fabric

i need to find some too,i have a new DARH HORSE blind that needs water proofing and sealing before i use it this spring
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd
