So my old but excellent VauDe Hogan is losing the tape that's sealing the seams. Have another trip soon so would like to re-seal. Seen lots of liquid style products that you brush over the seam.
Any recommendations and advice?
Thanks

An old Vaude with taped seams will be PU nylon. Brush the sealant on the exterior seams with the tent pitched rather than trying to revamp the knackered taped seams on the interior. Lots of products here:
