Yes - tried it on our tired 12 years old white Sunbrella dodger -
worked well for me for the months to get the boat from Anacortes WA
down to San Diego - saved buying a new dodger for a while. Buy the
manual spray bottle not the pressured can - get more for less. Took me
2 plastic bottles for a med-large dodger.

Our Sunbrella distributor recommends 303 first and AquaTite second.
Once you start using them you do have to treat the fabric every year
if not more often (depending on the WX). Another alternative
is to send them to a company that will clean the fabric and replace the
waterproofing.

Now that Tehemana/Flying Pig is on the hard, we've got the various interior
and exterior cushion covers (expected to be Sunbrella) off.

What's the downside of washing them - or do they have to be dry-cleaned and
treated somehow?

Thanks.

If the edges have been surged then you can machine wash them.
Otherwise dry cleaning is probably lower risk to avoid having
them unravel along the edges.

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.

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.

It's good on "canvas" that's younger than 5 years or so. After that, it

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.

303 works well. We've tried a lot of other products and it works best
overall. I suggest getting a small (1 gallon) garden sprayer and use it
to coat the Sunbrella. You really need to soak it and be even in
coverage. Two+ coats are also helpful.

Sunbrella used to say that you had to use "natural soaps" to clean their
fabric. However, they've now done a bit of a reversal in their 'Care
and Cleaning' PDF document. Depending upon what you have on it, the
recommend gasoline, liquid detergents, acetone, etc. For normal
cleaning we use Woolite, but have also used industrial strength cleaners
to get out stubborn stains without damaging the fabric.

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.

Our dodger is getting a bit porous and I have heard that 303 is the
way
to
go.
Anybody use the stuff?
Results?
