Thread: Tyvek tent footprint - alternatives?

Moa Hunter, out of interest does the turps dissolve the silicone enough to dip the cloth in, or is it too thick for this and need to be painted? I've seen a guy in the US do this, but he used naphta as solvent... I understand Diggers brand "Wax and Grease Remover" from Bunnings is the same stuff - but might be a bit toxic... not sure if that's good idea.
