Questions & Answers

What if I want to waterproof my tent with this?

There is a Neverwet hunting product that can be used to dry your tent odorlessly so it doesn't alert the animals. It could work fine, but if you intend to use your tent while hunting, there might be an advantage to using this product. Thanks for reading. I hope this was helpful to you.

If I spray this on my uniform, how well would it work?

In my case, I sprayed it on my outdoor cushions and the umbrella, and it did a great job. The spray did not alter the color of the fabric or stain it. There should be an unchecked box for you to check in See if there is a prominent spot.

Can suede leather be treated with this?

The spray works great on tactical camo boots I have. I spray it on tan suede boots. If at all, the color did not change much. The shoes will still stain, but I have a grass stain on the toe, and the water beads up nicely after a while.

Could this be used on a canvas sneaker with a ruber sole, and does it still protect at the same level as the original two-step ?

As a result, it does not seem to be as effective as the original two-step Although the application instructions say to do two coats, I only applied one. It may be better if it is sprayed two times.

I think so
5/5

Wow, what an amazing thing to see. I am partialy quoting from the header of the customer That's all right. The smell has been reported by some. There are those who feel the coverage is insufficient. As I wrote in my header, I read yours. There's boogy all over the place! Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm from It rains and it is cloudy. Well, that's all there is to it. Water just beads up and rolls off my Steampunk (popular in our area) raincoats when I wet them with this product. It also creates an after effect in which dark clothing gets a touch This might be of interest to you "Gothers. " Try out the product on something you want to keep from getting wet and don't pay too much attention to negative reviews. Buy a bottle for yourself and try it on something you want to keep from getting wet. What about that thing with the "smell"? You will find instructions ABOVE the top label on the back of the bottle after you peel off the top label. This is a mineral-based liquid, so READ the instructions that will be provided. Gloves are also a good idea. Go forth and spray something, like your sneakers, or something like that.

My purpose in purchasing this product was to use it on my cushions
4/5

In order to test the effectiveness of this product, I poured water on the cushions after spraying them with it and letting them to dry thoroughly. After spraying and letting them to dry thoroughly, I tested their effectiveness with the product again. There was no way to repel the water. It was barely enough to cover one side of each of the 4 cushions with the 11 oz spray bottle, so to cover any area larger than that you would need the larger bottle.

What a great stuff this is
5/5

Where have you been all my life? Why have you never told me about NeverWet before? My ITEM is without a doubt the most magical, fantastic, and awesome gift I have EVER purchased. No, that had nothing to do with a joke. Our back patio was originally the purpose of this purchase. With it, I am able to cover my furniture, so I don't have to put my cushions away every As a result of its success, I also used it this time to hang a sun shade It did not take the rain long to disappear my shade, and it didn't have any affect on it. Once I started to get creative, I started going on a roll. Since then, I have been using this on my shoes and my children's shoes as well. This was sprayed on my 3 1/2 year old son's All Star Chuck Taylor WHITE shoes (white shoes + a 3 1/2 year old boy = DANGEROUS). After being outside in the sandbox for a month, going to the babysitter's house, and just everyday wear and tear, I am amazed at how white his shoes remain after all of that. This stuff is awesome. I still have the white shoes. (I have leather seats in my car) I would try this on them if I had fabric seats in my car. As a matter of fact, I think I will use it on my car's carpet Having not tried this yet, it would probably make more sense to spray a small area in my trunk before spraying my entire automobile).

I really like this! In my spare time, I occasionally- There's nothing worse than a rainy Seattle and having to cover outdoor seating every time it rains The least you want is soaked pillows, or, even worse, no cushions at all
5/5

You can never get wet with NeverWet! There is no water in the vessel The furniture is ready for immediate use as soon as the sun begins to warm up. You can also brush the water off and immediately use the As soon as the spray dried, the fabric did not become darkened. I have cream and light grey outdoor furniture. It would have been nice to have bigger bottles of this! In order to fully saturate two large cushions, you will use up approximately one bottle of liquid This is a set of three You can also use it on patio umbrellas made of fabric. Under the umbrella I treated last time, I was able to sit for a while in a steady rain without any dripping. The entire process.

Has a smell
4/5

Since it says to apply it in an open, well ventilated area, I applied it outside, left the chairs outside for a couple of days, and put them in the garage after that. later, we had to open the windows to allow the strong smell to escape when we put the chairs in the car to take them to the soccer game. It took about a month for the smell of this stuff to disappear. However, other than that, it works okay, water beading just fell off and rolled off with ease. Almost 2 years have gone by since I sprayed the chairs, and they are now starting to absorb water. The spray is temporary, so it is no different from any spray on. Considering how much this stuff costs, even after two years of use, it was a bit pricey.

The area it covers is not very large
3/5

The reviews state that it works well but I'm trusting the reviews because I don't know how it works. Spraying a small canopy over a hammock helicopter chair was a good idea. As well as the cushions, I had expected it to cover them. In my case, I used most of the bottle on the very small canopy, and about 30% of the bottle worked only when the bells were Although the process produced white spots all over, it was the white spots that prompted me to write this review. The weather will be absolutely perfect for six months, and I would be happy with that. When I do this again, I will remember to use it for.

The idea has potential, but it will take some time for the smell to disappear
5/5

If you can't use Granger or another wash and proof method, or don't want to use it, this waterproofing makes a great alternative. I restored the shell finish to trench coats and made a Gerry Actete jacket to be reproofed with wash and Another reviewer commented that the darkening effect was a cool side effect that makes black materials appear even darker than they might otherwise. After a soak in all my old and new gear, I decided to wash and proof everything. I got a new Red North-themed backpack in the end. It looks like kevlar but is orange rather With this, I tried making a darker version and did not disappoint. This is what Ferrari Red looks like now. You can't help but be knocked out by the smell while drying/curing! During a windy night, I left it out for 40 minutes This is the weather for 50. I could still smell a strong odor. We tried using the fabric refresher cabinet cycle, but it was not quite enough, so tossed it into the dryer (an older Whirlpool gas dryer with a plastic interior) and let it bake away the smell for 15 minutes at a low temperature. I was patient enough to wait three days for the stench to go away, but I obviously wanted to wear it the.
