joe,,it really does work,,

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 !!!!

How is everyone spraying it on? Do you lay it out or do you have it in place on the boat and spray it while it is on the boat? Do you do both sides...inside outside?

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.

Do you do it while its on the boat, all spread out or just lay it out?
