Hi all, just trying to find info on removing some silicone from a tent but I’m not able to find it, so apologies if this has been posted before.
The thing is that I recently bought a new SMD Lunar solo silnylon tent and some SilNet so I could seam seal it. Following McNett’s instructions I applied the silicon directly and carefully trying to cover all the possible places over the seams where water can come through.
I think I followed the correct way but I don’t like the result because now I have nice but thick parts that once pitching again the tent, the silicon starts to open where gets most of its tension and I can see the exposed seams.
I know I should have read about mixing the silnet with a paint thinner before but now its too late.
The case is that I would like to remove the silicon and start again with the process. Apart from removing it with the fingers, which It works but it’s a slow process, is there any faster method to do this.
Attaching a pic where you can see the result of my seam sealing skills ;)
I’d like to say that I live in Barcelona and bought the tent in Europe so there was no possibility to ask SMD to have the tent sealed.
Thanks in advance! Best
Santi
