Is 1 oz enough to seal a 7' x 4.5' pup tent?

As long as you're not too liberal in applying, yes. I used almost two for my 7' 12' tent.

Absolutely not! I bought 2 8oz. Tubes and used about 3\4 of one on a two man tent.....I put it on heavy!!

No. Either get the larger size or purchase several one ounce packages. They tend to be good for about 2-3 uses after being opened, and carrying a fresh 1 oz tube is not a bad idea for repairs in the camp.

Do the math. There is some flexibility, though it takes a bit of force to bend. I was working in a tight space, but got it to fit. You can also use fireproof goop around the edges once it's in place to tighten the seal. Couple years ago I put mine in and it's still working fine.

I didn't seal my tent or seams and never had a leak in this tent. I camped July 4the weekand had the remnant of a tropical storm and we stayed dry through 16 straight hours of torrential rain.

I don't know yet. I bought a can of silicone sealer at dicks just in case. My camping trip is in June.

The seam sealer is a compound that seals the sewn seam holes to water. Many tents are made of rip-stop nylon and if not sealed they will wheep water in a rain storm. So sealing all seams is important but not critical. Also use an aresol spray of water proofing on the tent when you first purchase it. Set it up in your back yard or garage and apply two coats of waterproofing. It will mean you first camping experience will be a dry one as it always rains when you least expect it. A Vermont Bear knows how to stay dry!

From personal experience and everything I read, you want a tarp the same size or slightly smaller than your tent's footprint, to prevent rain water being collected by the larger tarp and pooling between the tent floor and tarp. There are several 10x15 tarps on Amazon that should fit the bill perfectly. Just my 2c.

Roll up is 3/8th inch thick, 24 inches wide, and 70 inches long. It is 13 ounces in weight including the two elastic bands that you use to keep it rolled up. Color is Army olive drab. I would describe it as Styrofoam, waterproof item suitable for one average adult. You need two for one complete army pup tent. It cuts and damages fairly easy.

I have a 20 x 11 tent that stays up for about 6 months out of the year and I used the heavy duty and not one leak. So I would have to recommend the heavy duty. Good luck.

Since I cannot find a Coleman footprint/groundsheet available for this tent, I would recommend a thin tarp without grommets a little smaller, not larger, than the dimensions of the tent. You don't want it larger because that would catch water and channel it under the tent between the tarp and tent bottom, actually increasing the chance of a leaky floor.

I sealed a five gallon tank and didnt even use an eighth of the pint once the excess was all drained. Hope this gives you an idea of how much you'll need for you're project.

Some tents come pre-sealed with waterproof tape or coating along the seams. This one does not. While it is pretty water tight, performance can be improved by taping seams with material made for this purpose, or brushing or spraying sealant made for this purpose on the seams. Tent seam sealants and/or tapes are available at most camping supply stores and online.

Our does not have trouble with small amounts. Might try putting in freezer before sealing. Had to do this with old our old unit.

It leaked on us. It was useable but probably needed the seams sealed. It went through some major storms in the southeast. It is an inexpensive tent, so you get what you pay for.

With everything stuffed into the carrying bag, 8" in diameter by 24" long. Happy with tent except for time it took to seal all the seams to prevent leaking. Rain fly does not cover much except upper portion of tent.Used Coleman sealer from Walmart, almost 2 bottles, to cover exposed seams. Other than that, it is a good little tent.

My husband bought a sealant and sprayed the seams of the tent, rain fly, and the far sides of the tent that are exposed. He sprayed it and let the tent set in our garage about 2-3 days to make sure it was good and dry. I think he said he spent like 8 dollars on the sealant and it comes in an aersol can, much like spray paint. Hope this helps.
