    Reapplying waterproofing on old tent

    This started with me asking if it could be done, having everybody tell me to buy a new tent including my wife.

    But after having the “classic” (or antique) Sierra Designs Glacier tent since college (‘~ 1979) and being both sentimental and hard-headed, I decided to try a DIY. It weighs in around 8# with the aluminum poles- heavy by today’s standards (3-4 pounds for a 2 man tent?

    I’ll post here what I’ve learned speaking with tech support from multiple companies, and trying to do it myself.

    Here’s a web picture of one without the rain fly- snow tunnel, stove hole and a zipper in the floor for a stove.

      I’m still trying to get all the old polyurethane coating off. Close- but not all. Then I unrolled the snow tunnel and cursed since it was coated too!

      More details and lessons learned- later.
