Leaking drybag

Post by Sussex Paul »

I’ve just discovered my revelate terrapin drybag is leaking on the seam, is applying another layer of seam tape on top of the existing one going to help, or just a futile exercise?

It might but everything will need to be very clean. Painting on some seamsealer would likely be more effective.

Something like seam grip? Would you apply inside, outside or both?

Yeah that would do the trick Paul. Inside will obviously be neater but it might be worth taking a belt and bracers approach and doing the outside too.

Actually, I'd be tempted to do the inside, let it dry then stuff the bag fully and do the outside.
