Have you ever had something rained on and not dried for days, inconveniencing you a great deal? It happens to most people from time to time, but did you know that you can waterproof common items such as foul weather clothing, raincoats, woollen coats, hats, breathable jackets, fleeces, tweeds, synthetics, tents and footwear? Yes, with a couple of easy steps you can ensure that however wet the weather gets you don’t have to worry about dealing with soggy items. Weatherproofing is easy; all you need is the item that you want to waterproof and a good weatherproof spray. It takes just about ten minutes, and then you have to wait for about four hours for the spray to dry and you have a fully weatherproof item.
Lay the item flat on piece of cardboard and then spray it with the waterproof spray, holding it about eight inches away. Make sure to overlap each line you spray so that you don’t leave any areas prone to soaking. Do not spray too heavily – you risk compromising the fabric. Make sure that you spray on all sides and in the seams as well. Leave the item to dry for four hours and then give it a second coat.
If you don’t know whether an item needs waterproofing you can easily find out by putting a drop of water on it. If it is porous the water will get absorbed and the area will turn dark.
