Sitting in a tent in Peebles waiting for the rest of the gang to wake up before going out on what looks to be a soggy soggy ride. Noticed the tent is leaking slightly at a couple of seams - so was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on best products for waterproofing tent seams?

McNett Seam Grip for the seams.
Waterproof the whole tent fabric with Fabsil.

I had to reseal all the seams on our second hand Outwell Montana and re-waterproof after treating for mildew. PITA job, but now have no leaks.
Use the seam grip on the inside and/or outside.

^This, and double check it is not condensation, it can appear where there are seams, corners and folds in the fabric. Vent, vent, vent a tent.
