    Thanks!

    This is just a hobby for me. My sewing skills aren't quite up to snuff for commercial sale anyway.

    Well, I tested it out last night in a good ol' Kentucky Thunder Storm (tm). Ridge lined leaked all over the place. Time to go back and seal it again. I think I may have mixed the sealer too thin, and applied it too thin (although I did 2 coats).

    At least I was only in the back yard!!!

    Very appropriate testing grounds.
    Just curious, how did you connect the two pieces along the ridge line?
    did you make a fold?
    Or do you think it is just leaking through the thread injector holes and seam sealer?
    You also mentioned mixing the seam sealer thin. If I were you I would use permatex flowable silicone. Works like a champ.

    Really very, very nicely done!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."
