If you’d rather not DIY, choose this £30 seam sealing service and we’ll seal the fly for you before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"1073\"\u003eMany TFS flysheets use double-sided silicone-coated fabric, which can’t be machine seam-taped because the surface is too slippery for tape bonding and standard production seam sealing. Instead, seams must be hand-sealed with liquid sealant. TFS also uses a special sewing thread that swells slightly when wet, helping the stitch line tighten for better water resistance—however, in prolonged, heavy rain, small seepage can still occur if seams are not sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"14mygkd\" data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003eWhat we use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003eWe use Gear Aid Seam Grip FC Fast Cure Sealant (for nylon and polyester tents), imported from the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1as9q9k\" data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1222\"\u003eProcessing time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1323\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSeam sealing requires drying\/curing time and typically adds around 3 days before the tent ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tanwa Outdoor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57778575835481,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/5007\/6249\/files\/Applying-sealer-to-the-edges-of-this-tape2-680x392-1_fe24aefe-b827-4e7b-936a-3a1d1443bf78.jpg?v=1775825548","url":"https:\/\/www.tanwaoutdoor.co.uk\/products\/tfs-the-free-spirits-seam-sealing-service","provider":"Tanwa Outdoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
