    Heavy Duty Water Repellent - for Tent Floor

    Are there any products like these available in NZ ?

    KIWI® Camp Dry® Heavy Duty Water Repellent
    Heavy-duty silicone barrier keeps boots dry | KIWI® Camp Dry® Heavy Duty Water Repellent

    KIWI® Camp Dry® Performance Fabric Protector
    Repels stains from outdoor fabrics | KIWI® Camp Dry® Performance Fabric Protector

    I am looking for something to waterproof a tent floor - so it does not need to "breathe".

    Thanks.

    Make your own water proofing solution
    Mix 1 part silicon clear gap filler or bathroom sealer to 50 parts white spirit or shelite.
    Mix well until silicon is dissolved then brush on or spray.

    Ratio is not too critical if not enough silicon in the mix you may need to do two coats

    Hunting is relaxing just like Yoga except I get to kill something.
    If it Flies it dies and if it hops it drops.
