A method of manufacturing a waterproof seam comprising:
- a. providing a first textile having at least a water penetrable layer and a waterproof layer;
- b. providing a second textile having at least a water penetrable layer and a waterproof layer;
- c. depositing an adhesive composition onto the water penetrable layer of the first textile;
- d. allowing the adhesive composition to completely penetrate through or wet out the water penetrable layer of the first textile;
