Ok before I go and ruin my new tent by seam sealing using Silnet, someone that's had some experience using this stuff would you please give me some tips or lessons learned. I've read the general instructions and howtos but I'd like to hear some real world experiences. A couple of questions that I have are...

1. I assume I pitch the tent right and not leave it just laying on the ground while I apply the sealer?

2. Do I apply just on the seam itself, or do I go a little wider than the seam?

3. Do I do the inside the tent seam, outside seam, or both?

4. I've read about applying talcum powder to the sealant after it dries to keep it from sticking to itself. Necessary?

Anyway, just trying to be cautious. I paid a lot of money for this tent and I don't want to ruin it right off the bat!

Thanks for any pointers.
