    I just finished my first Telkwa. All went and amazingly no leaks.

    I however did a very ordinary job sealing the rear seam around the tightest corner. It all got out of whack and I ended up cutting the rear seam to get around the tightest bend.

    It’s not leaking but I’m concerned about the strength and longevity.

    Keen to hear people’s thoughts.
    1) Just leave as is and coat with Seam Grip.

    2) Try and undo the seam around the area that’s average, trim with scissors and re-seal it.

    There doesn’t seem to be much pressure around the area so my gut feel is just to cover with seam grip and hope it holds up.

    Keen to hear people’s thoughts?

      That looks totally fine to me. A little Seam Grip+WP and you’re good to go!
