Hi Guys I'm hoping you can help me out on this one, we have a coleman weather master which isn't standing up to rain anymore, we have bought some seam sealer and it is now in a friends garden waiting for us to put the sealer on.

Do we have to take off the old sealent first or just go over it with the new one? it isn't a tape we have but a roll on.

I know we have to leave it on for 24-48 hours to ensure its dry before we pack away the tent.

Its definately the seams, you can see where its coming off, mainly around the windows where the waters getting in. i think we'll just seam seal the ones that are leaking otherwise it will be a nightmare of a job to remove every seam.
