Doing a little camping trip with my son in a few weeks and I'm trying to breath some new life into an old tent. What seam sealer and water proofing spray do people seem to like the best? Do you have any tips for application? Thanks for the help.

If you are on a budget, a blue (or better yet, green or brown) poly tarp would cost less than sealing materials. The cheaper tarps are surprisingly light. When you're done you'll still have a hany tarp :)
"If you are on a budget, a blue (or better yet, green or brown) poly tarp would cost less than sealing materials. The cheaper tarps are surprisingly light.

But I thought I would ask here for suggestions first.
does it leak? Set it out in rain and see if it stays dry inside
Hit it with the garden hose or lawn sprinkler!
the garden hose or sprinkler is good, but it's not quite the same as rain. Size of drops and what their speed is hitting the tent.
