sealing a mooring cover

rasbury

Howdy- I need to reseal my mooring cover but have never done before- what do I use? I assume it will be a spray of some sort and spread it out on the yard or something and spray it and let it dry??

Yes...and several manufacturers make waterproofing products.

A friend who makes high quality canvas products of Sunbrella and Top Gun material says he will only use 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. In fact, Sunbrella specifies it for their product. He does NOT like any waterproofing products with PTEF in it.

Make sure your canvas is super dry and follow the instructions.

I spray mine in the sun shine and do two decent coats with drying time in between. Putting extra on the seam lines

I usually hang it over a chain link fence.

Use a mask DON"T breathe that stuff in!

Buy a gallon via Amazon and a $10 pump up sprayer at Lowes or Wally World. It goes on easier and saves your hand from squeezing the trigger.

Good idea...that is a lot of trigger squeezing!

thanks guys as always..

Also, don't soak the canvas so it's dripping, you just need to coat it with a film.

Using a paint roller to apply the product gave me more coveage per sq. ft. versus using a garden sprayer.

Make sure you clean it well before resealing. You can get info on cleaning solutions on the Sunbrella website.
