I have been lucky to acquire a Nortent Vern 2, however the manufacturers state this needs seam sealing. Not a job I enjoy!
I set off to discover which tent materials need this doing and why. finally I share with you best techniques.
Nortent have an excellent explanation in their book of tents. They do use a cold needle and expanding thread technique, but reading between the lines it seems that a 20D outer due to its stretchier nature, compared to heavier yarns, requires seam sealing.
