Just got this shelter and it looks like it needs the seams sealed. What should kind of sealer should I seal it with?

Your best bet would be McNett's SilNet Silicon Seam Sealer because the Zing's material is a 40D SilNylon. This is the best stuff out there for seam sealing SylNylon material. Make sure you are patient and have a well ventilated area to do this. The Zing is large and will take a bit of the seam sealer, but will pay off in the end. I've used mine without sealing the seams and when under a long sustained rainstorm I do see water seep through the seams (though it hasn't been terrible). Good luck!
