    Ive found this tent holds it shape much stronger if you have the central guylines looser, it keeps the ridgline stronger and helps to keep moisture and condensation from pooling.

    Ant, great video! So used the seam sealer both inside and outside. I will have to try that particular brand on mine. I like that applicator. That can be a messy chore. Have you been out in a good rain since last year when you applied it?

      Just a FYI, your friend cutting the log wasted a lot of energy and put himself in danger with the bouncing log. He should have put something on the tip to make for a solid cut. Seam sealer looks great, but I wonder how long it last before you would have to reapply it if at all. Can you keep us updated on the seam sealer. Thanks.
