[at-l] seam sealing

[daveh at psknet.com (David Hicks)]

Always seal the side that the water will be on, not the side that you want to
keep dry.

Picture that you want the water to be trying to push the sealant into and
plugging the holes created by the needles -- not the water coming though the
holes freely and creating a string of small water balloons of sealant to be 
pushed away from the fabric until they burst/leak/etc.

The more pressure, the more need to have the sealant on the wet side.

I've got to seam seal a silnylon rain anorak.  Do I seal the inside or the
outside or both?

Thanks,
