neilestrick Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Art fair season is fast approaching. Acceptances and rejections have been coming in this week. Soon it will be time to re-seal my popup canopy to keep it water tight. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEP Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I haven't tried this myself, but I hear that lots of artists use sealers made for camping tents. It's not expensive and very effective when applied once a year. You can also pack a roll of white duct tape for temporary patches during a show.

Mark C. Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have used this on all my boat covers for years-and once on a canopy cover they make a cleaner as well 303 High Tech Fabric Guard you can mail order it at Westmarine.com as well as other places Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Unknown Craftsman Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'd be interested in that too, Mark. How would it be applied, spray, brush? Is there any flaking or cracking? DO you apply it to the outside of the canopy, inside, or both? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I sprayed it to the outside-on a warm day after washing it a few days before lightly with a hose. I do my two boat covers with it ever 3 years the same way You should most likely test it on a small spot first All fabrics are treated differently.

neilestrick Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks Mark. I think that's exactly what I need. I got into a massive downpour at a fair last year, but my booth was brand new. Many of my neighbors had old booths that were not sealed, and they were a mess. Some had water inside picture frames and lost a lot of work. My pots don't mind getting wet, but I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
