Hi All,

I have searched some old threads and found Joseph Lyddy Dry Seal to be a popular choice. It seems that this product is no longer available. Can anyone suggest an alternative?

Thanks

I suggest talking to a horse supply shop. They should have canvas waterproofing stuff for the horse rugs similar to the Joseph Liddy product. In the old days there were canvas tents but there aren't to many of these left anymore. and for good reason.

Go to Supercheap or Repco and get some Bowden's Own Fabratection.

I used supa-peg dryproof with great results.

I posted in Military 2 days ago that Dry Seal is now available again directly from Waproo.

There's about 3.5 litres of Aqua Proof and from memory about 5-600ml of Mould Rid that is looking for a new home.

Seeing as I no longer have a Perentie and therefore no tarp that needs treatment with either, it seems a shame to piff them to the council detox your home thing.

DM me if anyone wants. Pickup inner west Melbourne or can come meet you somewhere.

Heya - my canvas is getting some black spots - mold - on the outside and easily cleanable white spots on the inside. Is it still going to work to seal it or is there a step I should take first to neutralise the mold?

I just bought a litre online, not sure how much I’ll need for a RFSV canvas though.

Yes Ive found it online too and ordered some! Bought 2l. Im also going to experiment with making my own oilskin tarp with a recipe I also found.
