Silicone or sno seal for waterproofing modern tent fly?

Long story short, back in the day we always waterproofed our tent seams with sno seal. Worked great.

Does anyone still do this with tents in 2026. Or is it "better" to use silicone sealant?

Thoughts?

Obviously not flying with fuel/will buy when landed.

We do some farther out trips that we fly to then rent a car. If we plan to be car camping and day hiking we'll bring the camping stove. Looking to upgrade(get a smaller more portable stove)

Should I go white gas or stick with 1lb propane cylinders? Generally not super cold when we do our trips but 32deg mornings is common and anything is possible.

Aside from better cold performance not sure which would be better or worse
