I think that would be a lot of seam sealer considering the small amount of seams and mine isn't sealed. I was told by someone who makes them that it really wasn't necessary. So far it hasn't been necessary (didn't leak a bit in an all night rain storm at 12,500 feet) but I'll probably get around to doing it at some point just 'cuz. So the weight on mine is as is. My scale seems to weigh gear heavier than Kifaru's. I find that very exciting as I must have the world's lightest Kimber Montana. It weighs 4 lbs. 15 ounces on my scale. wink
