A bit of waterproofing required.

After the problems of ice fest with my Caranex tent ( rained in quite badly) I have finally got around to waterproofing it. I have set it up in my garage and will sort it tomorrow. Would you say paint it on or spray it on ? Also would you do inside as well ?

I use a pump up garden sprayer, Screwfix sell a good 7l one for £6.99, then totally soak the canvas Mark Thumbs Up

also, warming it once done helps activate the hydrophobic chemicals - tumble drier is a bit much, but drying it out from the sprayed on formulation in a warm room is recommended..... once the bulk of it has dried, at least.....

Remember my uncle using something that required ironing to activate it and he decided drying in the sun would suffice. It didn't work... So something to look out for.
