My Locale Under a bush in Scotland
About Me I've hiked, climbed and backpacked for over 30 years, mostly in the Scottish Highlands. I used to run distance, and adventure races. Injuries have curtailed that. I'm 'into' anything outdoor orientated. Wildlife watching is a favourite past-time.

Re : Seam sealing
I just sealed my DuoMid yesterday. I used about 1/2 a tube of SilNett mixed with 2 or 3 times the amount of white spirit. I use the kind of white spirit you get in paint stores. I don't think ...
