Low Odor Waterproofing

does great on my 26 ft console boston whaler

Purchased in 2022. Applied to triple patio umbrella, 2 nine foot patio umbrellas, cover for swing, cushions. The product worked as advertised. Water beaded and ran off. It’s been 3 years and I’ve notice fabric is losing water repellency. I ordered again to waterproof items again. This definitely protected the fabric from the sun. I highly recommend Starbrite. I used it on my old boat cover. I applied it after the cover had started to deteriorate. It soaked up the product. It did repel water but I should’ve applied much earlier. It extended the life of that cover for at least 2 more years so I definitely recouped the cost of the product. New cover was over $3K. I’ve waited a year for the new cover to age. I’ll spray it as often as needed. If I had not applied waterproofing to the fabric on the umbrellas and covers, they would’ve dry rotted from the sun. I’ll keep using this product. The fabric cushions are still holding up well but they’re under the patio umbrellas. I don’t have any negative comments for this product. It’s not inexpensive but has saved me hundreds of dollars. Worth the price.

Seems to work ok. Worked like a dream on my Bimini top. And they are not kidding when they say to not get it on windows and to wipe off overspray. Doesn’t work as well on clothes. Will likely save my boat top for a few years. Worth the money.

I use STAR BRITE Low-Odor Water-Based Waterproofing on 16 ft canvas bell tents at a commercial glamping site, so durability and guest comfort really matter. Coverage tip: For best results, plan on one full jug per 16 ft tent. I was able to stretch one jug across about 1.5 tents, but full saturation gives more even protection. Why I chose this product: The low-odor formula is a big advantage. Guests spend a lot of time inside these tents, and there was no noticeable smell during or after application, which helped avoid downtime between stays. Application matters: A fine mist sprayer is key for even coverage Apply only when the tent is fully dry Choose calm weather—mist will drift in even a light breeze I applied outdoors with a hand-pump sprayer, but indoor application would likely be even easier for uniform results Results: After curing, water beads up beautifully, and the canvas retained its natural feel and breathability. The waterproofing looks even and professional. I’m very happy with the outcome and will continue using this product as part of my seasonal tent maintenance routine. Very effective. Worth the money to maintain business assets. Photo note: The attached photo shows half of the tent sprayed and half not sprayed, so you can clearly see the difference in water beading. It’s a simple way to demonstrate how effectively the product works. I’m very happy with the outcome and will continue using this product as part of my seasonal tent maintenance routine.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!! Needs to be applied evenly and to a very dry, clean surface. Works wonderfully and lasts longer than expected. Overspray on a concrete pool deck will make a water proof stain that will look absolutely fine until it gets wet and will then look crazy.....I learned this the hard way. Great Product and great value!!

Automotive use for me. Love this stuff. No odor. Easy to apply. Long lasting IME, about 6 months. You'll need most of a quart / liter to do two coats on the typical fabric convertible top. Buy the gallon (a much better deal) and you're set for at least a couple years depending on climate. I recommend using a soft Bristle brush and working it into the surface. Apply a second coat within an hour. Do NOT wait overnight for a second coat - once it dries it will prevent the second coats from penetrating (because it's now waterproof, get it?). Much better than spray products. Wipe up any drips as you go. If you have questions, the StarBrite company has outstanding & responsive customer service.

This is the best waterproofing that i have used on the wife's car top. Product is brushable, but have to be careful about the runoff. Does not absorb into the fabric on initial application. Have to work it a little bit to get it soaked in. Once applied, top looks fantastic (14 years old). Repeals water and helps to protect the fabric. Have applied twice with the one gallon purchase (Saab convertible). Looking at doing it twice a year and the gallon should carry me for the next two applications.

Did not stop the rain water from getting into the boat. Never sealed the 1 year old canvas cover

Used it on our thermal pool cover as the surface underneath was flaking. Worked well, has lasted about 8 months due to always being in water so it's due another coat.

I have been using this to spray on my motorcycle and outdoor clothing and it is perfect. The items become instantly waterproof, and yet still breathe. I have used it on leather and textiles with absolutely no problems at all. Glad I bought a big container as I live in a very wet place!

The directions says not to use it where I have, but rather use a solvent based product. I used it because I have heard that a solvent based product can damage plastic zips and clears on the yacht.
