Canvas Treatment?

[mccadamsoday]

Does anyone have a recommendation on what type of canvas treatment to put on my bimini and sail covers?

3M scotch guard. And paraffin wax on stitching and zippers

Are they Sunbrella?

If they are Sunbrella the only approved and recomended product is 303 High Tech Fabric Guard..

My friend used 303 and didn't read the label first , he sprayed it on the Isinglass covers while they were in place . Big mistake , the 303 melted the Isinglass . We made it look much better with Meguiar's Plast - X

Another for 303. Up in the North I need to reapply about once a season.

Good tip Mark!
I plan to order the giant economy refill jug in the Spring. It's in my Amazon cart. I've already bought pressurable(sp?) spray jugs to decant it into. I spray on APCO products on my boat cover HarborTime fabric. No more tiny spray bottles and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.

303 Fabric Guard.

I was told by the maker that the "marine" formula is the same as the regular formula so if you can get the regular for less go that way.

Make sure you wear a respirator that's got a filter rated for chemical vapor. It's not good to breath that stuff.

It's not good to breath that stuff.

It's also flammable when wet, so take the victory cigar down the way a bit.
