Hi guys, we've had a lot of questions on how to properly seam seal our packs.
For best results, seam seal the outside seams. Seam sealing the inside does little good. I thin the sealer pretty hard with mineral spirits, then suck it up into a small syringe and use that to inject it into the seams. It works well and leaves a very clean line compared to brushing it on, though brushing it is quicker.
After sealing, let it dry and then test it out. If it passes a 15 minute drenching rain without any water penetration then you're good. A shower works for this, but I usually use the hose outside.
I shot a video on the technique. It's a bit long and not very exciting, but should be helpful.
