Question 1

can I use it on horse rugs

Accepted Answer

We did, 2 coats each, dry between each application. Is ok but still looking for perfect waterproofer.

Question 2

Does all the volumes come with a spray applicator?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure what you are actually asking. If it's for a car soft top I would say get the 1.5 litre size, I'll explain in a bit. First thing is that you don't want a spray can, it will be dearer and is a pain to get it only on the roof and not all over the car. The liquid has the consistency of water, and smells a little bit. A sort of spirity smell, not bad but it will go after a couple of hours. 1) Clean the top, get a squirty bottle of cleaner, loads on Amazon, and a hard brush and go for it, unless the top is frayed and really had it you won't hurt it. You won't believe the muck you'll get off the roof, give it a good rinse and let it dry, over night if possible. When you put the Fabsil on make sure it's a nice day but not bright sunlight. The reason for that is because it's spirit based the sun will make it evaporate before it all soaks in, so NOT in bright sunlight. One of those warm murky days. But you will need to let it soak in for most of a day before it rains on it. 2) First thing is don't mess about with painting it on the roof. Get a 2 or 3 inch brush, a nice soft one, pour some Fabsil in a pot of some sort make sure you have a rag for when you splash it on the paintwork (it won't hurt it at all, it's like the stuff builders inject into damp courses, won't hurt your hands or anything). Paint it on like you mean it. I absolutely drench the roof, so it looks like a downpour has just been on your car. You won't get brushmarks the roof will just look soaking wet, which I guess it is! In about an hour it will be dry and your top should look amazing, especially if you cleaned it well. I try and put a second coat on the next day, you don't need to clean it again, and it should be set for the year. It's SO easy to do, it's not like a paint-forget all that it's like painting water on, and as I said any smell will soon go. If we have one of those short sharp showers all the water beads up on it, it's as good a stuff for your roof as you would want. It's so easy that I don't see how anyone could have ANY problem doing this. Enjoy doing, I do!

Question 3

does anyone know how much I would need for  a 3mx3m gazeebo please

Accepted Answer

Depends on how deteriorated your gazebo is. This stuff cured perfectly a leaking car soft-top but I used quarter of a 5 litre can. It might of worked with less but I just slapped it on. Thing is that it builds up so you can try the smaller size I suppose and top it up if it still leaks. You will get there in the end. Good stuff though.

Question 4

What sort of thinners do you recommend for cleaning the brush out afterwards?

Accepted Answer

White spirit will remove it as will washing up liquid. Better to use a cheap brush and dispose of when finished it will not affect the finish.
