    Looks great and well done on a straight forward to the point video my man, earned a sub for that keep up the good work sir. I found this channel looking for products to apply DWR to tactical outer wear for work, Fabsil seems to be an excellent choice.

    Thanks. So many manufacturers of new and modern tents these days tell you not to seam seal or waterproof your tent. It just doesn’t ned it. Big Agnes comes to mind. I think I’ll do mine, just in case?

    Could you do a single coat of each one. Making the tent a summer and winter tent. Would the liquids mix together

    I have a collection of outdoor inflatables for holidays, and over time, the coating on the nylon fabric comes off. This is an issue, because that coating is what keeps the air inside. If I use this product, will it make my fabric non breathable again?

    I don't think so. Tents need to "breathe" and I'm sure that this allows that to continue. I'd check with the manufacturer, but my guess is it isn't the product for you.
