I recently came across an old tent...a good quality tent in good shape, but the rainfly is showing wear. The previous owner didn't want it anymore because it leaked. Initially I thought I could just reseal the seams, but in the process of doing that I'm thinking that's not going to be good enough. The original tape the manufacturer put on the seams was mostly just hanging off except near where the seams came together, so I was able to just tug on the ends and pull it off in long strips. While resealing the seams I came across several places on the rainfly where the waterproofing appears to be separating from the material...it kind of looks like skin peeling when you get a really bad sunburn. Has anybody had any success in refurbing a rainfly that is this far gone? Can you just spray some silicone spray over the whole thing? Is this a good long term solution? I'm not really worried about adding extra weight here because this is more of a car camping sized tent that I plan on using for canoe trips if I can get it water tight. I've also already emailed the manufacturer to see if a replacement fly is available, but since the tent is like 15 years old and hasn't been made in almost that long I'm not holding out much hope of that.
