Bought this tent from Cabelas on Friday and set it up that afternoon. I knew we would be having rain off an on the next few days say wanted to do the "pre-weathering" before I took it out for real.
Monday night it rained, not sure how much but I think it was significant. Checked the tent tuesday morning, no leaks. It had a chance to dry out tuesday as it was sunny, than today (wedsenday), we had more rain (torrential downpours). I checked the tent again when I got home from work and there were some pools of water on the tent floor. It basically looks like it is seeping in along the seems where the tent walls meet the floor.
Not reallt a big deal, all tents leak or will eventually leak despite what the manufacturer claims.
1) Is there a seam sealer available specifically for canvas?
2) KC says to use kiwi camp dry which I cannot find anywhere. Can I use the scotchguard waterproofing ? It is silicone also.
