i've used all sorts of water repelant treatments for backpacking gear and this stuff looks really good. I'm going to have to give it a try

WOW...this would be great on my rtt.

The possibilities are endless. What a product.

Most of the reviews I see say that it dries to a frosty film. I wonder if they have the clear coat finish yet? Would be awesome on auto glass, under the vehicle, the canvas of a tent, heck even on the toilet seat! haha

Did tehy say how long it lasts or did they not say? I too was thinking for the RTT.

It has its shortcomings, like saltwater will destroy it, and if I am not mistaken soap also. If you google the product, the backpacking light forum has great info as many others do also. There are products similar to this from KIWI and so on. 20 bucks is not bad though.

I suspect you would be trading off breathability on an RTT, which wouldn't be good for condensation.

After watching that video, I'd say this is an incredible project for protecting things in OHV's such as ECU's and sensitive electronics, as well as auto upholstery. I wonder if this would work pretty well on down and polly sleeping bags?

Good tents should be waterproof ?
Also think breathability might be a issue packing it have it flake etc...

Just picked some up at Home Depot. I took a risk and applied it to m ARB awning. There was barely enough in the cans to apply two coats (manufacturer recommends three or four). As luck would have it, it rained a couple hours after I applied it. Even with two coats, it worked as advertised and it didn't change the appearance of the canvas. Now, we'll see how long it lasts.

And did it dry enough before ? Did it work and pics

 

[Rattler]

I saw it while at Home Depot today too. I only looked quikly but it didn't say how long it would last either.

EDIT: Here's a quick 15 second video of water rolling off the awning:





About 30 minutes after the final application, it was dry and slightly tacky. Here's a picture of how water behaved on the canvas. It definitely didn't absorb, and when I tilted the awning, it "rolled" off the side.

That looks great!!

We are thinking about trying this only on the seams of our RTT. The faces and the roof of the tent are jam up and jelly tight. Seams can always use some help.
