Awhi...Thanks for posting the results of your test. Awhile back I was looking into making oilcloth and using Sno Seal occurred to me but I haven't gotten around to trying it. I wonder how well the cloth will hold it when the weather warms up.AlanR - GunRightsAlert.comhttp://gunrightsalert.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391680.post-41503776515432071592010-11-30T17:07:16.134-05:002010-11-30T17:07:16.134-05:00I had one of the first nylon backpacking tents to ...I had one of the first nylon backpacking tents to come on the market in the early 1970s. I loaned it to a friend, and they told me they had gotten it muddy and so they washed it before they brought it back to me. Back then, new nylon tents were treated with a water repellent chemical, and that got washed out. So, I sprayed the tent with Camp-Dry spray. That was a mistake. The tent then smelled like the inside of a well-used latrine.<br /><br />I tried airing the tent out for a long time, even tried washing it, but nothing made that smell go away. Seeing as the tent was then unusable, I had to throw it out.<br /><br />chicopantherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
