    Mamajamba

    Is this tarp seam sealed along the ridge line or is that something that even needs to be done?
    Thanks

    Warbonnet makes the ridge seam so it does not need sealing. Though I do anyways.

    From WB website:

    Seam sealing:

    All our tarps incorporate low stretch polyester edge binding on the Ridgeseam, this means the ridge does not need any seam sealer, however if your tarp has panel pulls (SF, MJ, CB, GT) then you will want to seal the 4 panel pulls. You’ll want a suitable silicone (like GE Silicone II from the hardware store). Set up the tarp where you can leave it pitched for about 8 hours or so. Apply the thinnest possible layer of silicone (your finger works well) to the stitches (to the stitches only) on the underside of each panel pull (underside of tarp only), and leave the tarp setup till dry (4-12 hours depending on temperature).

    I did not seam seal mine and it went about 5 years and no problems at all. Then I started reading about folks doing theirs anyways so I did all of mine. Still no problem.

    I’ve never seamed sealed a WB ridge line and have never had one leak. Seal if you must, but I do think it’s unnecessary.

    Never sealed my thunderfly ridgeline and it hasn't been a problem so far. I have had it almost 3 years.
