Just read on another forum that you should seal taped seams on new tents before you use them.I've just bought a gelert stratus do I need to do this before using it or would it have been done in manufacture

Cheers Ian

some do and some don't! but to be safe when away have a tube/bottle of seam sealer handy. it's no big deal just run over the seams when dry.

now having a backup tent "1st aid kit2 to hand is another matter (it can get obsessive) but fun! just wait till you've done a few camps and you will be there with your "little" bit of kit ready for whatever. 

Thanks for the answer, pretty logical really

Ian
