Learn how to use Six Moon Designs' seam sealing service for your Lunar Orbiter shelter. This guide explains the process, what to expect, and why professional sealing ensures waterproof protection.
Quick answer
Send your Lunar Orbiter shelter to Six Moon Designs for their professional seam sealing service. They apply sealant to all vulnerable sewn seams, creating a watertight bond and adding strength, so your shelter is ready for precipitation.
Why Professional Seam Sealing Matters
Your Lunar Orbiter shelter requires sealant on its sewn seams to be fully waterproof. The sewing process leaves tiny holes that can let water through. A professional service ensures complete, even coverage without the mess or guesswork of DIY.
Six Moon Designs' service is specifically designed for their shelters, using the right sealant and application technique. This avoids common DIY mistakes like uneven application or using the wrong product, which can compromise waterproofing.
How to Use the Seam Sealing Service
- 1. Purchase the Service: Add the Seam Sealing Service for the Lunar Orbiter to your cart on the Six Moon Designs website. It costs $30.50, a savings from the catalog comparison price of $50.00. Double-check that you've selected the correct service for your shelter model.
- 2. Prepare Your Shelter for Shipment: Clean your Lunar Orbiter shelter thoroughly and let it dry completely. Remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the sealant bond. Pack it neatly in a sturdy box. A dirty shelter can prevent the sealant from adhering properly, leading to leaks.
- 3. Ship the Shelter to Six Moon Designs: Include a note with your order number and contact information. Ship the shelter to the address provided in your order confirmation. Use a trackable shipping method. Keep your tracking number to monitor the delivery and know when to expect your shelter back.
- 4. Wait for Processing: Six Moon Designs will apply the sealant to all vulnerable seams. This process takes time to ensure proper curing. Check your order status or contact customer service for an estimated turnaround. Plan ahead; don't wait until just before a trip to send your shelter in for sealing.
- 5. Inspect and Test Your Shelter Upon Return: When you receive your shelter back, inspect the sealed seams for even coverage. Set up the shelter and test it with a garden hose or in light rain to confirm waterproofing. If you notice any missed spots, contact Six Moon Designs immediately for a fix.
Product Information
- Seam Sealing Service - Lunar Orbiter: Seam Sealing Service charge for the Lunar Orbiter: Many of the shelters made by Six Moon Designs require an after-production sealant to be applied to all the sewn seams that would be vulnerable to precipitation. This not only creates a watertight bond between the pieces of fabric and fills the tiny holes created by the sewing machine, but also adds strength to the seams. This service ensures your Lunar Orbiter is fully waterproofed and reinforced at the seams, so you can trust it in wet conditions without needing to do the messy work yourself.
