Question 1

Does it stick nylon to nylon fabric for my waterproof jacket?

Accepted Answer

I've done a lot of waterproofing (jackets, backpacks, tents, shoes) & I've tried Seam Grip Sealer & I HATE IT WITH A PASSION! It just never dries; after months & months it's still sticky (the company admits it's difficult to cure & recommends sprinkling baby powder on it to help it dry - BABY POWDER?! Who wants baby powder all over everything?!). And when it comes in contact with itself on a seam it sticks & when you try to pull it apart it rips away the sealer. Seam sealing is time consuming & I've wasted mucho time tearing off the sticky Seam Sealer mess & using much better products: For heavy materials I like E6000; it costs 1/2 as much for twice as much sealer, drys fast, stays flexible but is tuff & protects the seams. Because it does dry fast, be ready to work quick to spread it out & the funky chemical smell will go away in a couple of weeks. For lighter materials such as coats, I like Coghlan's Seam Sealer; it's easy to use, seals the seam well, drys quick & a 2 oz tube goes a long way, and again, is much cheaper than Seam Grip.  If you want to glue two pieces of nylon together, I'd recommend Beacon Fabri-Tac - it bonds quickly & permanently, dries clear & is washable. It's not cheap, but makes a super bond & a 4 oz bottle will do a lot of projects.

Question 2

will this work on the seams of canvas popup camper. Then be able to spray with water repellant after the sealant dries?

Accepted Answer

The problem is, although Seam Grip Sealer does waterproof seams, it NEVER dries! It remains sticky FOREVER! It's a failed product that apparently gets positive feedback from people who are delusional or in some way connected with marketing it. Harsh words, but I've tried it, and & I'm still hurtin' from having to go back over all my hard seam sealing work with a product that DOES dry so I didn't have a sticky mess in my packs, stuff sacks & tents. I'm not connected with ANY product & my advice is DON'T USE IT. E6000 is THE product for waterproofing seams - it not only waterproofs the seams, but also creates a tough layer that protects them, yet stays flexible; it costs half as much as Seam Grip Sealer & you get twice as much. And, It COMPLETELY dries in only a few minutes and you'll be able to apply any water proofing product over it with no problems. Seam Grip Sealer recommends sprinkling baby powder on the seams after application to help it dry - BABY POWDER EVERYWHERE? SERIOUSLY?! You WON'T be able to spray waterproofing on fabric covered with baby powder unless you want a sticky, useless mess! Another plus for E6000 is that its readily available in the hardware or automotive sections of all dept. stores. The only negatives are that it has a funky chemical smell that takes several weeks to go away completely & you have to work quickly smoothing it on the seams cause it dries FAST.

Question 3

How many linear feet of tent seam could you seal with one 8oz tube?

Accepted Answer

I guess that it depends on how thick you apply the seam sealer. For my tents, I used a liquid seam "sealer" and brushed it in with the supplied brush. I use Seam "Grip" for gluing patches and for applying on the top of an inflatable mattress to keep from sliding off, etc.My advice - think of what you are trying to do. Are you trying to glue something or simply sealing a seam? Seam "Grip" is heavy and thick like a glue, so if you want to seal a tent seam with it, you'really going to have to spread it around with something, because it's so thick.

Question 4

What's the difference between this and gear aid seam grip repair adhesive and sealant?

Accepted Answer

I am guessing here. The adhesive and sealant is where the seam sewing has given way or fabric tear but needs a waterproof sealant in the area as well as repair.
