MY NEW BUSHWHACK CLOUDBURST

So I get my tarp in and in the box is tiny tube of sealant. Does this mean I have to use this on the tarp? Anyone know of a video of how to do this? BTW, I absolutely love this new tarp!

you most likely will not need to seam seal the ridgeline. you should seam seal the panel pulls though...
here's a decent video from UGQ on seam sealing. The panel pull section starts at 1:01

from Warbonnet's website: https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/tarps-101/

Seam sealing:

All our tarps incorporate low stretch polyester edge binding on the Ridgeseam, this means the ridge does not need any seam sealer, however if your tarp has panel pulls (SF, MJ, CB, GT) then you will want to seal the 4 panel pulls. You’ll want a suitable silicone (like GE Silicone II from the hardware store). Set up the tarp where you can leave it pitched for about 8 hours or so. Apply the thinnest possible layer of silicone (your finger works well) to the stitches (to the stitches only) on the underside of each panel pull (underside of tarp only), and leave the tarp setup till dry (4-12 hours depending on temperature).

Thanks! I think I have paid extra for this other times or was advertised as such. First time for me.

I used the included tube of sealant on the CB I purchased last month. I just applied it on all panel pulls, both on the outside and inside of tarp. The CB has seen heavy rain and wind and not a drop of water inside. What an awesome tarp!

I just asked this question last week. Brandon said to seal all pull outs on the inside threads and that the ridge line doesn't need sealing.

Reminds me I have a new CB in the box and two new snakeskins from Kat and i haven't had time to do anything with them yet.
I need to take a break from this home improvement project and seal those pullouts!
