Products: Seam Sealer Fights Fabric Leaks

Iosso Seam Sealer

Mar 14, 2024

Whether it’s a simple cotton or a modern synthetic, seams are often the weakness in waterproofing. Exposed to UV rays, wind and extensive use, even the most well-constructed gear can leak at stitch points. Seam Sealer from Iosso Products creates an invisible barrier at these stress points to keep water out, without changing the look or feel of the textile.

Seam Sealer prevents leaks in cotton, cotton blend, polyester and synthetic woven fabrics. With the correct seam construction, it’s even effective on vinyl-coated and vinyl laminate materials. This specific benefit makes it broadly ideal for boat covers, awnings, and cushions and even patio umbrellas. Seam Sealer provides protection that doesn’t stiffen fabric or alter its color.

Seam Sealer’s sponge applicator tip runs along both sides of the stitching until the thread is thoroughly saturated. After drying 24 hours, the supple fabric is now invisibly protected, without any residue or silicone. After washing or extended use, a touch-up coating can be reapplied. A 4-ounce dabber will treat 50′ of seam and costs US$8.52.Available in chandleries.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
