Sealing Light Leaks

[ChieferR33f3r]

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?

Hmmm good question. So they are like pin hole size holes how big are they?

just throwing it out there what about that spray rubber shit?lol ......................FLEX SEAL I knew it would come to me eventually!

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.

I just use some good duct tape to cover pinholes.

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

Black fingernail polish.

Toker1 I'm not worried about them other than for purely aesthetic reasons. Its interesting being able to find out how other growers tackle a problem. Sometimes a little bit of DIY is fun even if sometimes it's for your own well being.

Ah. Ok. In that case... turn off the lights outside of the tent. Lol 🤔

Toker1 if that don't work idk what will hahaha!

How many people come over the see how pretty the tent is I use duct tape or what ever I have on hand.

 

[Toker1]

I thought it was a bright idea. 💡🤣

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

Best option is rhino liner the whole thing.. you won’t ever have to worry about anything..

 

[homegrown]

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.
