Yes, and it works well on canvas that's 5 years old or less. It's based on
Teflon, and for me, didn't work well on older canvas. Be sure you get the 303 waterproofing for canvas, NOT the 303 for fiberglass and hard surfaces! Don't ask me how I know this. Wash the canvas first with a really mild soap solution. Best is to shave off some ivory soap bars. The ivory snow flakes will work well too, but they're not just straight soap like they used to be. -- Keith __ The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Moorings and Sunsail use Thompson's Water seal. First time I saw them
slap it on a Bimini I thought I would leave a mess on the dock but the maintenance manager claimed it worked better, lasted longer and was a lot cheaper than 303. Didn't seem to discolor the Moorings/Pacific Blue Sunbrella but I am not sure I would use it on light colors. Don wrote: Our dodger is getting a bit porous and I have heard that 303 is the way to go.

It's good on "canvas" that's younger than 5 years or so. After that, it
won't work too well. -- Keith __ Why is it that if you tell someone there are 6.3 trillion stars in the universe they will believe it, but if you tell them that your teak has wet varnish they have to touch it?

Glenn, check your mail...

Unfortunate that 303 is the name of the company. Makes it
a bit misleading when choosing a product. Not sure about the 5 years or less part. Normally one should not need to waterproof canvas that is less that 5 years old unless it has been abused. Sunbrella is guaranteed for 5 years so if it leaks prior to that age, you are theoretically entitled to some compensation. But once you start using a treatment, you have to keep up with it, normally at least once a year. Time to get new canvas. Doug s/v Callista "Keith" wrote in message ...
