Canvas Seam Sealer
Stitching is the first thing to give on canvas gear. After a few seasons in the bush, seams and needle holes can start letting water in, especially where a repair has been sewn by hand. This water-based sealer soaks into the stitching and leaves a clear, flexible waterproof film over the seam.
Where it earns its keep
- tent, swag and awning seams that have started to weep in heavy rain
- fresh stitching after a repair, including around a patch from the Canvas Patch Repair Kit
- bivvies, gear bags and waterproof clothing with untaped seams
How it works
It's a water-based styrene-acrylic polymer dispersion. Brush it onto a seam and it soaks into the stitching and needle holes, then dries clear, flexible and impermeable. Because it moves with the fabric, it won't crack.
It has no VOCs, it's non-toxic, and it washes off with water until it has dried.
How to apply
- Test a small, out-of-sight patch first to make sure it suits the fabric.
- Shake the bottle well, then pour a little into a cup or dish.
- Brush a thin film over the seam with a small brush, covering the stitching or hole.
- Leave it 15–25 minutes to cure, until it's clear and dry. Wipe any spills off with water before they dry.

Shipping & returns
Shipping & returns
Most Hartland™ gear is printed to order for you, so it takes a few extra days before it ships. A few heavier items are made by a different print partner and can take several weeks; where that's the case, it's noted in the item's description. Gear from our partner brands ships straight from them, so it may arrive in a separate parcel with its own tracking.
Free shipping on orders over $150 for eligible items. Items that aren't eligible are marked on their product page, and shipping is always shown at checkout before you pay.
Faulty, damaged or not what you ordered? We'll make it right. Changed your mind? Send Hartland gear back unworn within 30 days for store credit. See our Shipping and Returns policies for the details.
