Hey sliders. This may be a silly questions but I am scratching my head. Recently purchased a Kifaru Sheep Tarp and it came with seam sealer. I understand the purpose of the seam sealer on tents, and tipis but am not sure about its benefit on a solid tarp. Is sealing the perimeter seams beneficial? I guess there is also the (2) reinforced patches in the middle that may benefit from sealing?

Just looking for some advice/direction from those with experience. Thank You!
 
It’s the one tarp I haven’t ever seam sealed and never noticed any negative effects. I’m sure other guys have seam sealed theirs but just my personal experience to avoid it.
 
the stitching on the reinforced patches for trekking poles will leak if exposed to prolonged steady rain, learned that the hard way. I sealed those but didn’t bother with the perimeter stitching
