Great Product I've been using this product for the past four years, for my 20+ old boat canvas. I was looking for something to stop water from coming through my old canvas, you can actually see light through. I found Nikwax through a google search thought I give it a try, now I use it every year with great results. Boat canvas is a very expensive option, it will help sell the boat but adds nothing to the resale value. Nikwax has prolong the life of my canvas the water runs off not through, and saved me alot of money. It makes me want to use this old saying "like water off a ducks back"

Revived Troops Aging Tents Our Boy Scout troop purchased this product to water proof our aging Eureka tents. The tents soaked up the sealer. Two days later at camp it rained. Sealer definitely was working. We did use slightly more that nikwax indicated we would need per tent. Product worked as advertised!

Highly recommended for Tents! Three weeks ago, I purchased a brand new Coleman Kohna 8 Tent. Having gotten extremely tired of numerous nylon tents degrading and eventually shredded by UV and a slight breeze, I wanted to protect this one. I Googled and found this product here on Altrec. With it being an 8 person Tent, I ordered 2 500 Ml bottles of it. All I was really interested in was the UV Protection. As any good owner of a new tent, I set it up and seam sealed it. (All new tents need to be seam sealed.) I figured I'd leave it up until the Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof got here. It turned out to be a very rainy week. In that rainy week, I learned that the tent's waterproofing wasn't all that great. The seams were watertight but the fabric wasn't. It didn't exactly leak but it did soak through in places making the fabric darker where water had soaked in and small rivlets of water ran along it inside. The Nikwax arrived and the weather broke. I followed the directions on the bottle and treated all of the exposed areas of the tent and let it dry. The next day it poured out. And the day after that. And the day after that. And a driving, heavy, windblown rain came down the day after that! The tent was bone dry inside with no indication of water infiltration into the fabric whatsoever. If that isn't a test I don't know what is. If the UV protection is as good as the Water protection, I'm going to be a VERY happy camper. Literally. Nope, the stuff ain't cheap but if you value your gear and a nice, comfortable, dry place to stay in the Outdoors, my opinion is that it's worth every penny for old or new gear. I wish I'd found this stuff years ago! On a side note, Coleman obviously ain't what it used to be. There's just a bit of sadness to be had there.
