Seam tape on tent fly

+0
−0

I've got a Kelty Typhoon 2 tent, from the mid-1990s but still in good shape. I haven't noticed any leaking from the fly, but I'm thinking it might be time to re-seal the seams on the fly before I take it out in a Vancouver Island winter storm where there's sure to be lots of rain.

I've noticed that the tape covering the fly seams is coming off. If I'm going do any work on the fly, should I be making sure to re-stick the tape, can I get replacement tape, or will seam sealant provide enough protection?

Seam sealant should do just fine. I use this particular one which has worked well for a number of patch jobs. If the exist tape is dirty or damaged then you will want to trip it off and put on new tape. It will interfere with getting good seal.
