McNett - Tentsure Tent floor - Waterproofer

Given a 25 year old and much lived tent a new lease of life so love this stuff

I used Tentsure on the footprint groundsheet of my 24 years old Terra Nova Hyperspace tent. It was straightforward to use and there is still plenty left for the groundsheet of the inner as well. The only criticism I have is that the fabric of the footprint is now nowhere near as flexible as it was originally and makes a noise like the crinkling up a cellulose sweet wrapper when folding it for storage. Not sure if it is my fault (too heavy-handed??) or a property of the product, or maybe because my footprint groundsheet was in such a dilapidated state that the Tentsure soaked right through to the other side, which obviously could have made the layer of product too thick. Whatever, I am happy with it since it has saved me a shedload of cash buying a decent quality replacement. One word of warning, check your rubber/nitrile/polythene gloves are intact, there was a small split in one of mine that I hadn't noticed and I discovered for myself that the PU coating adheres exceedingly well to skin and fingernails. Oops!

If you have some old bags/rucksacks or camping equipment that is PU-coated (that matt stuff coating that is on the inside face of the fabrics) you know that they will deteriorate with time.This proofer may look like is expensive, but it's going to make you save a lot of money by not having to buy new stuff.Have a look at the picture for before/after the use of this proofer. I just used an old flat brush (discarded from my GF hair dye kit) that is easily cleaned with water after. Dries fairly quick, you don't need to use a lot but make sure you can scrub the old flaking coating first

Used this to retreat interior surface of my nylon flysheet (on a 25 yo Quasar) - the PU coating has deteriorated in to a sticky glue-like consistency that made separating (peelig it apart) the flysheet a nightmare: I washed off the old coaitn as much as possible by soaking in in a bath overnight in detergent, then rinsed and dried before spraying this stuff evenly all over. Now it doesnt stick togehter and no longer feels tacky to the fingers. Well happy and manufacturer doesnt do retreatmetn and will no sell replacement flysheets, just a whole new tent - which even with their offer of a 30% reduction was ~£700!

Fantastic stuff needed for inside a tent where the layer on inner material had come away in places done the trick. Dries fast also goes on well perfect item for any camper.

It let the water in

Took some time to get here, but was exactly what we expected.
