Default Water intermittently seeping in around dome

Hi all;

We have just constructed a 25' yurt built by Two Girls Yurts and have a little bit of water intermittently dribbling through around the edge of the

dome

.

The

dome

has a stovepipe through the middle, but is otherwise a pretty standard dome. I thought maybe in my ... enthusiasm .... to set up the stove that I had knocked it askew, so I went up yesterday and untied everything, double checked my centering, added a bit of extra foam, and tied everything back down as tight as possible. We had some pretty heavy rain overnight and it was leaking again in the heaviest rain, but is now not leaking in a heavy mist.

I guess I am looking for a better sealant option than the flexible foam

insulation

that came with it..... Or suggestions of other things to look for that might be causing this strange little intermittent dribble. This is our first Yurt and I'm new to fixing and maintaining them so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
