Seam sealing VX21 Rucksack advice.

[Graham F]

Hello,

can someone please tell me the mix for seam sealing VX21.

Just want to check to avoid damaging the fabric.

Thanks

Just to add, as I think I can’t edit the post above, it’s obviously the inside of the VX I am worried about harming.

I sealed the outside of my X21 pack (not VX21) and it worked fine.  I used a mix of silicone and mineral spirits much like I was seam sealing a silnylon tent.  A silicone based mix might not have been the best thing to use, but it has worked fine and survived a couple of wet backpacking/packrafting trips.

I recently emailed Gear Aid to ask a similar question.  I was impressed by the speed and thoroughness of their answer.  Perhaps give them a shout-out.

Thank you kindly Brad and Matt for your suggestions.
