Waterproof anything
I use this on shoes and backpacks, to waterproof them against rain and puddles. It works great, and has protected many electronics and documents from water damage over the years.

Works but...
Smells terrible and takes forever for fumes to go away, I was outside and had to leave my tent and coat hanging for two days to get rid of smell and even after when I brought it in and put it in the closet, it would smell every time I opened the closet.Hard to be sure you got an even coat. I ended up having to spray my tent with water, take pictures of where the water soaked in, wait until it dried and then respray the areas.I also used this on an old Carhart raincoat with same results.In the end... did it do what is intended yes, my tent and raincoat are now waterproofed. Pro - results as promised.Big time Con... smell and off gassing... DO NOT SPRAY IT INDOORS (I was outside and the fumes were insane) and make sure any item you have sprayed has had a few days to sit outside or in your garage before you even think of bringing them inside or you will smell it for weeks (medical side note: it gave me a lovely headache from the vapors).Another Con - it may take a few coats to get full waterproof protection and for a larger tent more than one to two cans. I used 1 and 1/2 cans to do a small two person tent and a raincoat. You may also have to wet the item after full cure on first coating to check for missed spots, take pictures or mark it in some way and then let it dry to spray the missed area.

Spray it on my camping tent…
I spray this on my camping tent every year. No color and easy to store with the tent. I want my tent to stay durable and have longevity. Doesn’t make tent stiff, just its normal material. Happy with it.

Repelled water like a champ
I used this on my tent before I went camping in the Smokies and it worked like a charm. I sprayed all the seams first and then sprayed down the walls - all on the outside of the tent. It rained 2 days and I got no water at all inside my tent. Water beaded up and ran down without seeping through. I would highly recommend spraying your tent on a hot sunny day when you can set it up ahead of time and then let it air out because this does have a very loud smell sort of like nail polish remover. That smell wears off after its had a chance to dry though. Definitely 5 stars.

Best water repellent spray I've ever used.
I've been using this stuff since the early 1990s when I was an infantryman in the US Army. I have used it on leather and fabric boots and shoes from combat and hiking boots to everyday shoes. I use it on all backpacks and work bags (nylon messenger bags), as well as leather and fabric gloves. Suede and smooth leather, nylon, polyester, and even cotton with enough coats. I use it on ball caps, and my outdoor wide brim hats. And jackets of course. Whether Gore-Tex (R) or other waterproof breathable liner or not, this helps tremendously. With jackets, gloves or boots that have a waterproof breathable lining this helps by reducing the complete soaking of the outer layer that blocks breathability. It will happen after enough hours, but it extends the time before the material is wet.The only thing this doesn't do as well as other products is to increase stain resistance like the Camp Dry polymer spray (and a few others) does.It does cause many lighter materials to darken, especially lighter leathers, so that might be an issue for some.

Health Alert
I used this product twice and never will again. Experience #1: Sprayed outside while wearing a Covid19-type face mask. Followed can directions to spray 7-10" from item. Waterproofed just 2 fabric doggie pee pads. Experience #2: Sprayed outside again under same conditions but forgot face mask. Started feeling lightheaded and dizzy while spraying 2 doggie pee pads, a tote bag and a hat. Checked can again. It said that if one was exposed to excessive inhalation and experienced an abnormal reaction, such as dizziness or nausea, to call a physician. I'm a nurse. I decided not to call a doctor (reaching one takes an excessive wait in my heath-care system). I knew the recommendations would be: stop using the product, stay in well-ventilated area, rest and maintain hydration. Symptoms have lasted more than an hour. I plan to contact manufacturer and possibly a poison-control center.
