[at-l] Seam Sealing

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

I seal on the side the water will be pushing from -- e.g., I want the water
to be pushing the sealer against the fabric and trying to push the sealer
through the seam and holes that the sewing made, NOT to have the water have
already passed through the seam and be pushing the sealer away from the
fabric.

With typical designs I seal the bags turned correct-side-out.  I seal the
joint and any stitching that has created a hole in the silicon seal on the
nylon.

OK,   I should know this but I just looking for an easier way...

   I made some sil-nylon bags and now I want to seam seal them to make them
water proof.    Do I turn them inside out and seam seal each side that has
stitching AND the "joints" or do I just do the joints?

Thanks

Sparky!
