They all work, Thompsons really isnt that bad. The kind in a normal size rattle can took a LOT of cans for my 342. I used something from Cabellas the first time - a clothing waterproofer. Second time I used Thompsons in a bug sprayer... Easier and cheaper and the same result. Leave it in the sun for 2 days and you'll be fine.
The upside is that it stops leaks. The downside is after a hard rain it would leave a greasy residue on the hull with weird petroleum based greasy stains. They are all forms of petroleum something or other with silicone.

Stlliberator..... I have used Aqua-Tite on numerous mooring covers, cockpit covers and bimini tops. It is a great product and also restores the look of new to your fabric, including Sunbrella, in addition to repelling/waterproofing. Buy the gallon size if you are able to. Like most products, it takes more volume of product for coverage, than what is recommended by the manufacturer. I have used numerous products and Aqua-Tite appears to be superior to any that I have used over the last 20 plus years. Good luck !!!!

I just do the outside. A garden sprayer works well, but keep it pumped up so it mists the protectant in small droplets rather than large glumps.
