Yes, Both Kurt Russell and Stephanson use GE Silicon II door and Window
Sealler Cut with thinner ( or other organic solvents).  You can put it all
in a squeeze bottle, shake it up and you are ready to go.  Put a nail in
the entrance or seal, put in cool place and it will last for a couple days
so that you can seal your seams one at a time over a period of days.  The
stuff seems to stay tacky for a while sometimes.  I like to dab it on and
then take a plastic kitchn spatulato make a take off the excess and clean
up the appearance ( it also pushes the sealer into small crevices).  It can
be put on extremely thinnly.  You can squugee with the spathula until there
is almost none on the fabric.
