And possibly "foolish".

Hours spent was high (learning curves). Still. Shoring it up for another camping season seems worth it, (work being slow and all) Didn't think of adhesive flexibility. I can see how adhesive rigor mortis might not be cool. (repeated tent folding)

D-oh!

Shoulda used the Fabri Tac. Used it on side patches 2-3 years back. AFAIK, it hasn't cracked though it would see slightly less folding I think.

As Haynes manual would say of reusing gaskets, lesser $ Goop may have been "false economy".
