That is what is recommended for seam sealing Stephenson tents as well.  The
recipe is:

(1) Find a 3oz tuna can
(2) Add paint thinner to, say, the 1/4 full level.
(3) Add clear silicon caulk (GE Silicon II works well
    according to Jack Stephenson) until the solution is
    at the 1/2 full level (double what you started).
(4) Stir like crazy.  Paint thinner will dilute the
    caulk but is not a solvent for it, so getting the
    stuff mixed up takes a while.
(5) Paint it into the seams with a small, disposable,
    paint brush.  I think I used a 1" trim brush.

This stuff is specific to the silicon impregnated fabric.  Regular seam
sealer WILL NOT STICK.  And I don't plan to try this recipie any of my non
silicon gear either.

think Kurt also uses the stuff as a seam seal.  He had
