 Smells like deck water-proofer in aplication, but dries oderless.Feb 15, 2010
By Philip Rounsaville
"Midas man"
I bought this for a new tent that I purchased(from amazon of course) and am happy with how it went on. Rather than buying some of the small-volumed and overpriced specialty tent waterproofers out there, I decided to save some money(and end up with some left over) and tried this. It has strong, volatile-smelling odors, so don't try using this indoors. You don't want to inhale any of this nasty stuff...From my understanding of how most water-proofers work, If the waterproofing molecules come in contact with your lung tissue, they will actually expand and prevent O2-CO2 diffusion and you could suffocate. I wore nitrile gloves as I sprayed it on the tent and then rubbed it into the material. After a day it was completely dry and there were no detectable odors. I did some water splash-spray tests and the water was beading off beautifully. I'm hopping the PTFE will help reduce dirt staining as well. - We'll see.

Amazing water repellentAug 03, 2010
By s2r1000
I purchased this for two jackets I typically wear riding - one is a canvas type cloth, and the other is thin cotton. I should note that neither of these jackets are motorcycle jackets, so they weren't water resistant at all - a lot of people buy water repellent to renew the waterproofing that many textile (gore-tex, and so on) jackets have to begin with. I coated the thin cotton jacket completely last night (do this outdoors!) but ran out of product for the other one - my fault, I got a little carried away on the first jacket. I checked to see how well it worked by pouring some water on the cotton jacket, and it just beaded off!!
My husband and I ride in all sorts of weather (hail is painful) and I've been in a downpour more times than any sane woman should admit coming or going to work, and have always arrived looking like an angry wet cat. I will be ordering another bottle (if not two) to finish treating the second jacket and some other gear we have. Bonus - the spray did not affect the look or feel of the fabric.

Worked Great!Mar 11, 2011
By dburckh
We have a fixed awning over our deck. I'm not sure what the material is, but it looks synthetic. Anyway, it was leaking like a siv and causing the supports to the structure to generally look bad, rust, fill with water (and freeze) causing damage to the structure. I thought I was going to have to replace it.
I put a single coat of this stuff on the awning and it's like new. Very little water leaks in now. Most of the leaks are from spots I missed! I can't recommend this enough.
The only bad thing is that it smells aweful and probably should be applied wearing a paint mask. I applied this from an upstairs window and left the bedroom door open (oops). The whole house stunk for a day.

Good StuffOct 18, 2011
By Captain Steve Austin
I've used this product a couple of times on my boat's Sunbrella Bimini Top with good results.
I find the easiest way to apply it is to use a mini paint roller.
The advantage of applying this way is you don't get overspray and also the fabric gets a good soaking.

Watertight WonderJan 31, 2011

I treated my tent with this and there was absolutely no leaking. It's easy to apply. It is pretty smelly so I aired out my tent for a couple of days before sleeping in it. It worked so well that I intend to use it on a jacuzzi cover that has a massive waterlog problem at the seams. I had plenty left after doing my 2 man tent and fly cover.
