Effective easy to use product.
Bought this product to improve the water resistance on my rucksack. I don't like using a rucksack cover, but like most rucksacks, mine will eventually let rain in, through the stitching probably and although putting my kit in waterproof stuffsacs keeps it dry, water inside the sack is never very nice. It also takes longer to dry out afterwards
Applying this, by spraying it on and hanging up it to dry on its own, has improved the water repellancy consisiderably.
I assume it will need doing on a regular basis, how regular I don't yet know and I don't yet know if it will build up further resistance by adding further applications.
A word of caution, put something on the floor underneath, some of it will run off while you are applying it.Read full review...

microlight plane coverings
This product had been used before on a plane with Dacron cloth coverings, that i have recently purchased.
I cleaned the wings and fuselage first and followed the instructions, as it said it can be applied to damp surfaces.
I found it easy to apply with the spray applicator but be careful to hold the container at or slightly above the level of the applicator. If it is much below it will not sufficiently gather pressure at the nozzle. Also watch the applicator push in connector to the container. I found it kept jumping out!
As i had large areas of wing etc to cover i used an old short handle soft car washing brush.
Spray an area of about a square metre at a time . Use the brush to move the whetted area around until you have fully coated the fabric and the excess has been used. Continue whetting and brushing until you have finished. I left each area for about 15 minutes and then used the brush to smooth out any runs.
I found that a damp soft sponge got any drips etc of my perspex and other non fabric coverings.
Several days later i went to the hanger and checked the results.
Apart from a few wax droplets on the horizontal surfaces(rubbed flat with my finger)you would not know that it had been done. The real result though was when i got it outside and you could tell that the colours of the wings etc were more intense and when droplets of water went on the surfaces they ran straight off.
As i have not got UV test equipment i cannot tell you the uv protection this will afford, but i understand that there is alot of online evidence to support the makers claims.

Waterproofing
The nozzle took a little adjusting, but that was completed in a couple of minutes. The resulting spray coovered well, and the applicator easily manoevred.
I applied one coat, but rain the next day came through as a mist; obviously reduced, but not resolved. A second coat to my gazebo completed the task. Subsequent rain did not penetrate, and there is still enough for another light coat, before the gazebo is put away.
Jolly good😊Read full review...

Brilliant product - does what it says
Brilliant product does exactly what is says. Very easy to use and it dries perfectly, providing you spray evenly you can't see it once it has dried. you can feel it though. I would highly recommend this product.Read full review...

Nikwax Tent and Gear Concentrate for extra waterproofing.
Appears to confer extra waterproofing to a water resistant gazebo, but time will tell how effective.
The spray pump necessary for application on an already erected covering.
Advertised as having UV protection ability to help prevent sun bleaching- will reserve judgement on that.
Have other Nikwax products which all work well.Read full review...

Job done
Great product. Environmentally friendly, non toxic, easy to use spray bottle. 2.5l and we were left with just under quarter of a bottle, after spraying our 12 man tent so goes along way. Would recommend wearing gloves as product does not wash once on skin. Read full review...

Nikwax
Seems to be a good repelent, but only time will tell. Bought to treat my bivvy, just hope it lives up to expectations. Only gave it 4 stars as the spray nozzle does not work as it should so ending up with pools rather than a nice even spray. Had to buy a normal spray bottle. Just hope it works.Read full review...

The best waterproofing that really works.
Having been disappointed in so many products I approached this job with some with a cynical eye. I used it as instructed to the letter, on my garage awning. I could not see any difference and so left it alone to dry over the next sunny day. two days later it poured with rain. To my utter amazement not a drop of moisture penetrated the material. Hooray! For once something actually does what it promises to do. I will definitely use this product again, I am really impressed with both the quality and the modest cost. Well done.Read full review...
