    Sealing Light Leaks

    I was wondering if anyone has thought of using acrylic fabric medium mixed 2:1 with black acrylic paint to seal light leaks from seams etc.
    Or does anyone else have any suggestions that would work with minimal effect on appearance of the material itself?

        Pin-sized holes in some of the stitching and seams. Flex seal would definitely work I imagine but my only concern would be how "aesthetically" pleasing it is to the eye.

          Pin holes are of no concern. Not enough diameter to allow too many photons through. I wouldn’t worry about them at all.

            try some black caulking..just a dab on your finger and blot over each hole. dont need much and it stays sorta flexible.

                lol Daskahn, hope Chief never has to fold the tent up again..that shit's rock solid. haha But you could throw stuff around in there and never have to worry about poking a hole in the tent.

              I kinda like having a few pinholes in my flowering tent so I know for sure when the lights are on or not. My tent sits inside an enclosed space that stays dark so I don't have to worry.

                The method I described above worked perfectly for what I wanted to use it for. Just in case anyone is interested.
