How long with this sealant last once applied? Excuse the rookie question, but I've never been camping.

The seam sealer is a compound that seals the sewn seam holes to water. Many tents are made of rip-stop nylon and if not sealed they will wheep water in a rain storm. So sealing all seams is important but not critical. Also use an aresol spray of water proofing on the tent when you first purchase it. Set it up in your back yard or garage and apply two coats of waterproofing. It will mean you first camping experience will be a dry one as it always rains when you least expect it. A Vermont Bear knows how to stay dry!

It will last the life of the product - tent - gaitor repair, shell jacket repair - etc.

I dont recall it being on my bag either (I've since used it all up!) But I do know that if you want it to last longer seal it well in a ziploc and keep it in the freezer. I do that with mine and it lasts months. Hope that helps a little!

We bought a cover right away, so I can't say with certainty, other than that over time and exposure, anything will be affected. It is the minimum amount of stain that could be applied, for sure. Expect to apply more stain or sealer in the future, as with anything outdoors.

I actually talked to the company, they said once a year is sufficient. Preferably applied in spring, but not required then. Just do not apply it during possible freezing temps or a day of heavy rain.

Only tested it once in the rain and seemed to work well. I have a tent that is several years old and was leaking in spots. Nikwax seemed to stop the leaks and seal the tent. Best answer I can give at this time.

I used it on my car's door seals and it did not last long, but this may be because those seals were already dry and needed second pass. In my opinion this should work fine for you, but you still need to apply it from time to time. If you want longer effect you may want to look for something denser.

Mine lasted about one year, the amount of time since I used it. I was extremely pleased by the results, but, as noted by Consumer Reports, the haze returns after a period of time, so the process must be repeated. However, it's still much better than it was before I restored the headlights, and the sealant they supply causes it to remain clear longer than other products..

I've missed a few nights here and there and it's not obvious, but I'm still using my first container. The directions state to apply sparingly, you'll be surprised how long it will last.

It maintains the same as most leading brands. High traffic areas wear faster then others. Always reseal 3 to 5 years. You could wax it once a month and it lasts much longer. Roll on very slowly or it'll create tiny bubbles in the sealer. Hope this helps

I hope you get an answer since I was wondering that myself. I left mine in but used it again in the next day or so. It was always ready to fire. I think these other folks are correct because I am sure it would eventually leak out. I like the suggestions for enhancing the seal.

How long did you let concrete dry before putting down sealer? I would apply another coat, was the sealer new? I had a similar issue with old product.

I tried it with a sealer a few times, but this product wore off very quickly. I gave it a good try or two.

Yes, that was my experience as well. Unfortunately, the entire contents seems to have dried up in my tube, which is really too bad because it does seem to work well otherwise. It may be better to purchase this sealant in a much smaller quantity.

I don't know yet. I bought a can of silicone sealer at dicks just in case. My camping trip is in June.

I did not use any primer and where I placed it was pretty smooth, once the sun hit it, we had great seal. I would suggest a fairly clean surface though.

I just bought this sealer and I haven't used it yet. On the bottle is says that the expected wear is 3-5 years for interior surfaces and 1-3 years for exterior surfaces. Apply annually for best results (per bottle).
