Yesterday i finished sewing 8 dry bags.
I took them into the workshop to seal them along with another 4 id made previously.
I proceeded to mix up some home made seam sealant with some silicone sealant and white spirit. (i got the ratio right with about 2:5 silicone:whitespirit)
So today i tested them to see if they were water proof. I filled them with water.
every one of them leaked. Some worse than others.
Im going to give them another coat over the seams - is this usually the case?
Have i missed something in sealing them?
What i did notice was that none of them leaked at the straight down seam and always round the bottom.
Thanks for your help
