The Black Diamond Mesa has one side of the fly is silicone coated, and the other is seam taped and also PU coated in the process of seam-taping, so it would really be over-kill to apply another coat.

The fly on this tent is NOT sil nylon, and has taped seams. BD lightweight tents with epic fabric had non sealed seams (Hilight, Lighthouse, Firstlight).

Silicone impregnated tents won't accept seam tape, it simply does not stick to them... So this necessitates a do-it-yourself approach using a specially formulated sealer and an hour or so of labor.
