I have just bought a brand spanking Stratospire 1 from Tarptent and I'm on the cusp of setting it up in the garden.
I have had a look at the set up vids and the seal sealing vid and all looks pretty straight forward.
Just one thing to check about the seam sealing. On researching other products i.e. waterproof overmits I have read that seam sealing can look awful. In this case I think zpacks tape sealed mitts were recommended over the msr equivalents, due to the poor aesthetics / finish as a result of using seam sealer.
I understand that seam sealing is necessary I just wondered in this "awful appearance" after the sealant has been applied is actually true with the tarptents?Specifically those from Henry shires
If this is the case is there anything I can do to improve the finish?? As it would be a shame to ruin my brand spanking Strat 1.
Many thanks,
