They\u2019re responsible for our love of sticky notes and scotch tape. So it stands to reason that they would know how to make some good waterproofing, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maybe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started to do some research on this waterproofing spray I saw mixed reviews. Some users complained and dragged down the reviews while others raved that it works flawlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I thought, how can it work great for some and poorly for others? I looked deeper and found that those who were dissatisfied were trying to use it to waterproof an outdoor pillow for instance. Of course, spraying a pillow might make the outer fabric resist water but it won\u2019t prevent the inner fibers from getting soaked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when I realized that all the positive reviews were from people using it correctly, on things like tent rain flys! It\u2019s an ideal product for use on thin nylon and polyester fabrics like tents where the spray can effectively renew waterproof protection in single coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best for thin outdoor fabrics like nylon and polyester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Now I wish I would have discovered it ages ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly to the problem with the Scotchgard I had to do some digging before I found out that many of the poor reviews about this product are from users using it improperly. It\u2019s not a miracle waterproofer and it can\u2019t make things waterproof that weren\u2019t made to be waterproof in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it\u2019s perfect for our uses! Assuming that you read through our buyer\u2019s guide then you already know how to check and repair seam sealing. Once that\u2019s done, it\u2019s time to spray the rain fly. According to the manufacturer, you want to give this spray 72 hours to fully cure, so leave the tent assembled in a protected area for 3 full days before packing away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best for heavy waterproof restoration on tent rain flys that have been repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

You can either buy the spray in a pressurized aerosol bottle or you can buy a spritzer bottle that you hand-spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aerosol bottles are usually metal cans that have been pre-pressurized with some type of gas. Today companies are better about what types of things are used to pressurize these bottles, but in the past (and to some extent still today) aerosols are known for being pressurized with harsh chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us outdoor enthusiasts probably prefer to minimize the spraying of weird and unknown chemicals so there\u2019s another choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spray bottle is your classic household cleaner style bottle with a little hand spray lever. Pull the lever and the bottle spritzes out some fluid &#8211; in this case a waterproofing spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disadvantage of hand spray bottles vs aerosol is that aerosol applications can be engineered to produce a much finer mist of particles. This fine mist usually does a better job of applying an even and penetrating layer of waterproofing substance than does the hand applicator bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silicone Based Sprays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ll talk about later, the best waterproofing for tent fabrics comes from silicone products. Silicone is a soft waterproof material that\u2019s used in all sorts of household stuff &#8211; even oven mitts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many different waterproofing sprays out there, most of the best ones for use on tents are based on silicone. Be careful that you don\u2019t accidentally get a \u201cstain resistant\u201d spray for use on clothes. These stain guard style sprays just won\u2019t hold up to use on your tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking tent waterproofing or boot waterproofing sprays apply a much thicker, heavier layer of waterproofing material than those meant for clothing stain protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Tent Fabrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How effective your waterproof tent spray actually is will depend greatly on what you\u2019re starting with. There are several different types of tent fabric and understanding them will help you know more about what you\u2019re getting into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silnylon and nylon<\/strong> are man made fabrics that are very similar to the same material used in plastic bags. This material is processed into fibers which can be woven into nylon fabric of various thicknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silnylon is just nylon fabric that has been impregnated with silicone. This silicone is the important waterproofing element of the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silpoly and polyester<\/strong> is a similar man made fabric in many ways. It\u2019s less stretchy than nylon under loads and when wet. However, it can be a bit more expensive and only certain specific weaves of silpoly make ideal tent bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both silnylon and silpoly make good tent bodies but the quality of the fabric and the silicone impregnation are an important and often difficult to understand factor of the overall picture. Many manufacturers offer very little information about the details of their fabric types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rarer but important tent fabric known as <strong>Dyneema Composite<\/strong> or <strong>Cuben Fiber<\/strong> is even more waterproof than either silpoly or silnylon. This ultralight fabric is also ultra expensive but is made from a fully waterproof impermeable sandwich of plastic mylar and dyneema fibers. Cuben fiber <em>never needs waterproof spray<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/caylee-betts-163409-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"canvas tents out in the field\" class=\"wp-image-2975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/caylee-betts-163409-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/caylee-betts-163409-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/caylee-betts-163409-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/caylee-betts-163409-unsplash-676x451.jpg 676w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/caylee-betts-163409-unsplash.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duck Cloth Tents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A word to those of you who might be using old military surplus gear such as the old duck cloth tents. These waterproof sprays <em>will not<\/em> make your tent waterproof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waterproof sprays like this work by creating a chemically bonded layer of waterproof material on the surface of the fabric. On very tightly woven fabrics like modern nylon and polyester, this works great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On fabrics with larger weaves, like cotton and duck cloth canvas, the space between each fiber is <em>enormous compared to nylon and polyester<\/em>. These waterproof sprays cannot properly fill and protect those larger weaves and you\u2019ll soon be disappointed when your tent eventually begins to leak again despite your efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference Between Seam Sealing and Waterproofing Spray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably researching waterproof tent sprays because you\u2019ve realized your tent has a leak. But will waterproof tent spray actually help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you go with waterproof spray you need to be sure the leak is <em>not coming from a puncture or seam<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Punctures are easy to spot and can be caused by sticks, branches, tent stakes, or clumsiness. Leaks along the seam of your tent might be harder to identify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seam tape<\/strong> is a thin strip of waterproof material applied at the factory over the sewn seams of your tent. Invariably this tape will lose its stickiness and begin to peel off after a couple of seasons, even if you don\u2019t use the tent. Check the seams of your tent to see if your seam tape is beginning to peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silicone seam sealing<\/strong> can be done at home or at the factory and usually provides much better results. Diluted silicone is brushed onto the seams in a thin layer which penetrates and seals the puncture holes left by the sewing machine. This method can be used to repair old seam tape that is beginning to peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve inspected and repaired your seams, if the leak is still occurring then you probably need to re-waterproof your tent with a spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply Waterproof Tent Spray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the best results from your waterproof tent spray you\u2019ll need to follow a couple of simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set up your tent outdoors in the sun for a few hours until it\u2019s completely dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring your tent into the garage or other covered space with minimal wind and sun exposure (direct sunlight can be hard on the waterproof spray chemicals).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spray in generous even strokes, overlapping each pass by an inch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not overspray! Drips and runs should not be present. If you notice a buildup of excess spray on the fabric move your spray faster or back off a few inches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the spray dry overnight before taking your tent down and packing it away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s okay to apply more than one layer of waterproof spray as well. If you feel that your tent needs extra waterproofing or if one layer didn\u2019t work well enough repeat the processes as many times as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/michael-guite-571169-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Tent in a forest\" class=\"wp-image-2974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/michael-guite-571169-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/michael-guite-571169-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/michael-guite-571169-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/michael-guite-571169-unsplash-676x450.jpg 676w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/michael-guite-571169-unsplash.jpg 1037w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Waterproof a Tent That Wasn\u2019t Already Waterproof?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple answer here is <strong>no<\/strong>. If you buy a crappy tent and it\u2019s not actually made from quality waterproof materials then no amount of waterproof spray will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your tent originally was waterproof and it just needs a little help getting back on track, waterproof spray should help extend its life a few more seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this problem, make sure you fact check manufacturer\u2019s claims. If you go to buy a tent and the manufacturer doesn\u2019t <em>clearly state what kind of waterproof fabric the tent is made from<\/em> then just skip it. It may be junk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use these waterproof sprays on breathable fabrics like Gore-Tex?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is unfortunately long and complicated. For breathable fabrics to work properly, the outer layer of nylon or polyester must remain dry (or at least not saturated).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time waterproof breathable garments may lose their water resistance on the outer layer and \u201cwet out\u201d. Once this happens the garment may still be waterproof but it will lose its breathability. To restore breathability you\u2019re best off using a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nikwax-Hardshell-Cleaning-Waterproofing-Duo-Pack\/dp\/B0BTLXB1HC?tag=7777082b-20\" class=\"1\" data-lasso-id=\"5167\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Nikwax Hardshell Cleaning &amp; Waterproofing DUO-Pack, One-Color 20 oz. \/ 600ml\" data-lasso-lid=\"5632\">wash-in DWR treatment<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do these sprays smell bad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Good question.

Adjust your spray distance and speed to apply a nice thick layer, but don\u2019t get the fabric so wet that you get drips and runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a heavy application like this should yield good results with just a single pass over the entire tent fly surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patrick-hendry-607515-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"tent with foreshadowing storm incoming\" class=\"wp-image-2978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patrick-hendry-607515-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patrick-hendry-607515-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patrick-hendry-607515-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patrick-hendry-607515-unsplash-676x451.jpg 676w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patrick-hendry-607515-unsplash.jpg 1303w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes down to it often you\u2019re better off buying a new tent with a high quality rain fly to make sure you stay dry. But that\u2019s expensive and most of us don\u2019t want to cough up the cash! Waterproof tent spray can be as cheap as $5 and it just might save your tent for another season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow our buyer\u2019s guide and read through the reviews to find the best waterproof tent spray for your equipment, you should be successful at restoring the quality of your rain fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that at some point tents get too old and too worn out to save and you\u2019ll eventually have to give in and upgrade your equipment. Waterproof tent spray isn\u2019t magic but if you understand its limitations and use it preemptively it can help extend the life of your gear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10314729_10152030335941315_7102054583277579990_n.jpg\" alt=\"Casey Fiedler enjoying the outdoors\" class=\"wp-image-2982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10314729_10152030335941315_7102054583277579990_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10314729_10152030335941315_7102054583277579990_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10314729_10152030335941315_7102054583277579990_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10314729_10152030335941315_7102054583277579990_n-676x507.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a kid we always used waterproof sprays to make our hunting boots last long.
