Closing the loop here, I got some of the SeamGrip +WP and it seems to work much better.  It also has a stronger smell. I had kind of wondered about the +SIL version because it didn’t have much smell and I had seen references to SeamGrip being strong smelling. Thought maybe I just wasn’t that sensitive to it.

Ok, thanks for checking. I have identified 3 small areas that have small leaks so wanted to make sure before I used the original stuff. Found some of what I believe is the original type you were using and have it on order. Does this look right?

I’m not seeing any current products on the Gear Aid website that state they work with Polyurethane. I thought I was safe going with Gear Aide Seam Grip and didn’t realize there were 5 or 6 different versions.

Oh bummer. I have the whole raft completed except tiedowns! I’ll have to do what I can through the T-zip.

 

Looking around now I’m finding a several different versions of SeamGrip.

SeamGrip+SIL (silicone coated fabrics)

SeamGrip +WP  (nylon, canvas, vinyl, rubber)

SeamGrip, white & blue tube (coated and uncoated polyurethane)

AuquaSeal+FD (neoprene, nylon, vinyl and rubber)

And a whole bunch of others…

I used Gear Aid Seam Grip. I just noticed when I checked the link where I bought it that it also has “+SIL” Not sure if that matters?

 

A few of the seams I powdered after they were cured 24+hrs. Others I just left alone. All had cured a week plus before I had this issue.
