Anyone ever used Seam Grip WP to seal tent floor or other seams? Does it provide a good fix?

My Bean dome is shedding seam tape and I need to seal those floor seams up.

Any advice appreciated.
 
I use the mixture recommended to me by Henry Squires after buying one of his Tarptents. He recommends a mixture of clear RTV Silicone and a little bit of Coleman fuel. Mix until brushing consistency and apply with a small brush. Wait a few seconds and press the tape back onto the seam. I have used this method for several years now with good success. My Old Bean Dome did the same thing and I fixed it using this method.
 
I used it to seal my Softopper and it's been working great. No leaks even through the car wash.

Thanks. Finally scored a tube at the KTP (EMS didn't have any in-store as usual) and slathered them seams. Next step, go camping!
