After much angst over whether to order a camo or solid tarp and which options to get, I finally ordered a brown tadpole on March 7. Beautiful day here in SC today, the husband went for a motorcycle ride and I'm piddling around the house, trying to decide what I want to do. Went and got the mail and THERE IS MY TADPOLE!:D:D:D. Happy dance, happy dance! That answered the question of what I was going to do today! Two day turnaround! Just validates my feeling that there was a Tadpole with my name on it just waiting for me to order it! It's beautiful and I love it. Thanks, Marty! Of course I'm sleeping outside tonight. I haven't seam sealed it yet, but it isn't supposed to rain.

i've been using mine for 2 + years and i have not seam sealed mine yet.
dang thing is as waterproof as ever!
i did seal the pull outs on my OMW but the ridge seams are tight.
i use a CRL under my tarps to help reduce tension along the tarp ridge line.
a CRL also reduces condensation precipitation.

Thanks. Right now I have it on a CRL. I got the pull-outs, so I will at least seam seal those, and will probably do the ridgeline while I'm at it.

Tadpole is a great tarp. I love mine, and know that anyone, including yourself will be very happy with it. I did turn mine inside out, and sealed the ridge seam. Most seem to have no problems with a leak, but I did have some small drops on the under side of the TadPole before sealing. No big leak, but I didn't want to chance it. It's seamed and now I don't have to even think about it.......RR
