Leaking boat cover . . . Star brite Waterproofing with PTEF?

[tgator96]

Has anyone tired the Star Brite waterproofing product? My current cover is starting to leak but is otherwise in decent shape. I'd rather not spend the $ on a new one if I can re-waterproof it effectively. Does this product work well? If so, how long does the waterproofing last? Is there a better alternative?

I've redone mine a bunch of times, really helps a lot. I've used this product just this past summer and the cover is doing its job really well. Can't really speak to other water proofing sprays though.

I tried 303 fabric guard. It was suggested by Cover Sport.
Works well but you need to apply a really thin coat or else it won't work.

All of the water proofing works well whether it be west marine(starbrite) or 303. In my experience it lasts about a year give or take.

Well this maybe why 303 didn't work wel for me. I used a garden sprayer and went pretty heavy when I applied it. Had to apply it a couple times and still doesn't bead water all that great. Next time I'll try lighter coats. Most folks speak highly of the 303.

That's why... I did the same and really applied the product to soak it...
Didn't work at all and was really disappointed.
I was told to apply light coats and then it worked wonder.

Thanks, guys. Do you clean the cover first or just spray it on?

I just made sure it was dust free and dry.
