[QUOTE="kawman, post: 55992, member: 917"] never use anything other than plain water to clean canvas because you will strip the waterproofing and mould inhibitors from the canvas.. I will not give quotes on this site.. Only advice...the best water proofing/mould inhibitor is bradmill waterproofing compound.. wet weather gear is usualy oiled/waxed and there are a few products out there that work ok..Dubins being one of them.. silicone spray is NOT one of them and should never be used on canvas as a waterproofing agent.. Silicone spray should however be used on the zippers to stop the slides from wearing out and not closing the zipper.. The advice that I can offer is mostly about Australian made canvas and pvc goods.. I started my trade in 1970 and have done a lot of great stuff over the years.. The best foam is to buy is the really high density stuff not the cheap stuff that is mostly sold to the unwary... waterproofing is not an option for nylon products... :) [/QUOTE]
