STAR BRITE Waterproofing - PFAS Free Spray & Stain Protection

My old form fitted canvas cover was not waterproof so I purchased a "waterproof" cover to go over the canvas cover. I ordered a bottle of this product last year and sprayed the canvas to help keep water out of the boat just in case I did not have the "waterproof" cover on when it rained. I removed the "waterproof" cover a few times this year after a rain just to find water pooled up on the sprayed canvas underneath. I bought a second bottle of Star Brite waterproof to spray the canvas again since it worked so well with the first application.

This is the real deal. Unlike other waterproofing treatments, this one is not water-based. I have used it on my ski jackets, bib, overalls, outdoor patio, umbrellas, and pop-up canopies. I put it on thick and after it dried , I put on a second coat. Water beads, and rolls right off. I haven’t had to put more on in three years

Works pretty good. Didn’t think it worked at first. Sprayed some on my baseball style hat an a pair of canvas shoes like vans and my expensive leather work boots. Discolored the boots at first but it dries clear. Didn’t mess up anything. Ran some water over the bill of my hat to see if it repelled the water and it didn’t. I was a little disappointed because I bought a whole gallon. Was kinda pricey. But the other day it rained and I just happened to have both the hat and boots on that I sprayed and they were both completely waterproof. I was so surprised. I stomped my feet and all the water came right off and took off my hat and shook it and it was dry. Definitely recommend. Can’t wait to spray more stuff.

I had to replace the canopy on our little one's sandbox so I used an "outdoor" fabric that would be typically used for patio furniture cushions. I sprayed this waterproofing spray on the fabric, very easy to apply, and let it soak in. The product dries completely clear and does not discolor the fabric at all. The cover still gets wet, but water does not leak through the fabric. Very happy with this product.

Took out our clamshell that had been in the bag out of the elements for about 6 months in our RV storage. A couple days later, it was raining and the 1 year old clam shell began to leak in spots. The chance and purchase this product. Sprayed pretty much the whole bottle on top as it's a 12x12 unit. I didn't bother to clean it that well due to the fact that was already set up, but this product works exceptionally well. The next rain storm and three other heavier ones that fall the clam shell still isn't leaking. Easy to apply, just spray and let it dry.

Used on a 6 year old Wave Runner cover which i could see light thru. After 3 days of rain, had but a small trickle of water. Sprayed 2 coats, 6 hours apart. (Placed plastic over Wave Runner so i could stretch WR cover in place to spray cover in place). Took about 1/4 gal

Works great, sprays easily and dries quickly outside in the summer sun. No noticeable residue. I don’t see any shine but I wasn’t expecting it to shine. Good pricing and compatible with many different fabrics.

****Downgraded from 5 star to 3. See update below for the writeup on that. my boat is 16 years old and even though I have only had the boat for a year, based on the condition of the vinyl I can tell that the cockpit cover for it has been used religiously for all 16 of those years. The condition of the canvas had me convinced that I would need to order a new cockpit cover, but I decided to give this product a try to see if I could make the canvas functional again. While it looks old and weathered, it still functions to protect the vinyl from the sun, though very little functionality exists for rain protection. Now with this product I am positive I can stretch a few more years of functionality out of this cockpit cover before having to completely replace it. I took this video this evening since I was working on the boat when a rainstorm came out of nowhere. It is kinda dark, but you can see the water beading up on the canvas since it is under my bimini top and you can see the water just running off the canvas cover. Edit to add info: Coverage - 1 Gallon did my entire Bimini Top, Camper Extension Top, and 90% of the cockpit cover for my 24ft boat. I purchased another gallon since I ran out on the cockpit cover which was the piece that REALLY needed to be done. When I got the next gallon in I redid the entire cockpit cover and also the covers for my bimini top and camper top extension. I REALLY overdid the cockpit cover since it had seen the most sun damage over the course of the boats life. Even though I did 90% of the cockpit cover few days earlier, when the new gallon came in I REALLY saturated it a second time since I had plenty of waterproofing to work with. Before I took the video I assumed that the rain would just roll off as long as the canvas was taught when buttoned up, I was surprised when I got caught in the rain that even without being pulled taught the waterproofing did its job and made the water just roll off completely. I used a standard garden pump sprayer for application and did the bimini top while it was on the bimini top poles, I just set it up in my yard when I did it. The cockpit cover I draped over a couple small step ladders that I have, my garbage bin, and my recycle bin. This allowed me to hang it all out with nothing touching the ground. I started at the top of the step ladders and worked my way down each side so any overage would drip down and soak downwards to the sections that had yet to be done. This method worked well for me both times I did the cockpit cover. I hope all of this info is helpful to someone. New Canvas = hundreds/thousands of dollars Waterproofing = less than 50 per gallon It's a no brainer folks. Oh yeah, for those environmentally minded folks, and those who care WAY too much about how green their grass is, my grass was not affected by the chemicals. *******Edit 12/4/2015***** After surviving the season I have come by to downgrade my review to 3 stars. While I did not experience major issues with my canvas disintegrating like many reviewers mentioned I did notice that all of my seams started having issues. Granted my canvas was made in 2000, but it survived fairly well considering. After a couple times of removing my canvas cockpit cover I noticed that the threads in the seams started coming apart. My canvas is still functional but by the end of next season I will definitely need to get a new cockpit cover and bimini covers. It did a great job at re-waterproofing, but is not friendly on the stitching/seams. If you want to extend the life this will do the trick, but I think you may as well try the sunbrella approved stuff out there for a couple dollars more and hope that it works better on the stitching and doesn't compromise the integrity of the stitches. Again, for functionality 3 stars - compatibility with canvas and stitching that resulted in it deteriorating at a fast rate I had to knock it down a couple stars, but at the end of the day the waterproofing does actually work as advertised.

I done using it ! Results is as Good as other Top Brand !

Delivered upside down and leaking

Lo compre para impermeabilizar el bimini de mi velero y funcionó estupendo, ya no filtra agua.

Highly recommended for mahindra thar canvas

The spray mechanism was very hard to use. Needed to soak material for it to fully work so used roller hence , turned out very expensive.
