Bearing this in mind and you were going to seal the seams would you use Seam Grip or Silnet as I'm going to apply it on the under side?
Also I understand that you should not use Seam Grip on silicon flys but looking through my cupboard i have found some Silnet. Can this be used on the inside of a PU fly whether or not it's coated with silicon?
Main problem with silicone coated flys is stuff doesn't stick to it very much (e.g. seam tape, Vau De and Lightwave seem to have a process for it but most people use a PU coat instead 'cause it's easier and cheaper), so my guess is you wouldn't hurt the coat if it's the worng thing but it will fall off in fairly short order.
However, I'd be inclined to call up TN and ask them what they suggest.

Thanks I've had a reply from them and have just sealed all the seams with Silnet.
