I have heard of people using "Thompson Water Seal." I have never tried it
but I am sure someone who did will post.

Sunbrella doesnt recommend Scotchguard. They do/did recommend "Apseal
303".

The problem with ALL these water repellent products is that the active
ingredient was supposed to be removed from the market 2 years ago due to
extreme environmental concerns (the stuff is one of the most stable
man-made compounds ever formulated) .... I thought that by now a
substitute active ingredient would be in use .... and of course not as
good as the original.

Apseal 303 is avaialble from www.sailrite.com there are two Apseal
similar products so be sure that what you order is the water proofing
material and not the UV protectant.

My sombrella cloth dodger is beginning to show signs of ageing. It
leaks a little over the companionway when it rains. I tried Scotchguard
but it does not help much. Anybody know of a product or treatment that
will work better and let me get a few more years out of this dodger?
