How to seal the seams of a grow tent to fix light leaks?

I set up my Hydrohut silver 4x4 today and found that some of the seams leak a very minute amount of light. Enough light that when I wave my hand around I can see that something crossed in front of the light, but not enough to know it was a hand.

Is this too much light leak?

My first thought was DUCT TAPE!!! http://img222.invalid.com/img222/5645/a96822a515betterworlddu.jpgI love duct tape.
Is there a better cure?

If you need me, I'll be in the tent :bong-hits:

normal duct tape seems to come loose over time. I used it to tape seams of panda film in a room. Gorilla brand worked better/longer. But metal foil tape works best.

better safe than sorry on light leaks

Thanks for the tip, Im going to hit Home Depot today and will add gorilla tape to the list.

I would agree with weedfarm. Gorilla tape is your best and easiest solution. Clean the tent first where the tape will be stuck for best adhesion. I would use some rubbing alcohol for this. That way you get the best bond to the tent.

You definitely don't want a batch of hermies from what some tape could have fixed.
