ok, elbow deep into this tarp project, about to hem the thing then seam seal. So, do you seal just the inside/underside or both sides (inside and out)?
I'm using PU4000 and seam grip if that makes a difference.

I have read many accounts of folks thinning the sealer, including people who mix large quantities to coat regular ripstop to make silnylon -- I myself have not yet done it but intend to when I get to the sealing phase!
Sadly, most folks (& some well-respected cottage vendors) I see put on thick, heavy layers of sealant. Using the link I referenced above I got the most amazing results = in fact it was so good you could barely see it. Definitely can feel it though. Looks great and doesn't add much weight.
ridgeline and bottom ties out done, have to finish the pull outs and then seal it, hopefully by tonight. Taking a break, had to hang it outside and run under it lol.
