I’m seam sealing the family backpacking tent today, it only took 10 years of pushing my luck with no rain. Lol! I have one coat on of 100% GE silicone caulk and mineral spirits. Do I need a second coat?

One coat should be plenty, assuming that you got it worked into the seams and didn’t miss anything.
Is this a sil-nylon tent? If not, silicon based sealant may or may not last well.
