There's no need to seem seal the tadpole. The way he does the ridgeline it acts kind of like a shingle on a house. As long as you set it up with the label on the outside you shouldn't get wet. You might want to hit the pull outs, but the ridgeline shouldn't get you wet. I never sealed mine and have been through many good storms and stayed dry. I've only heard of a very few rare occasions where users got wet, but I'm of the belief that it may have been user error. (but that's just me)
The tadpole is my favorite tarp and I carry it on almost all of my backpacking trips. You got a great piece of gear.
