    It says on the label "100% naphtha... Etc"

    No idea if it hurts nylon.
    I see the link is to white spirit. Does anyone know if White spirit damages nylon - as in white spirit cooker bottle leaking into a backpack ?

    Not sure... makes your breakfast oats hard to stomach though! If spilt definitely permeates through a pack!

    Nylon is one of the least 'damageable' materials on earth. You'll be fine.

    I have used Turps in the past and it works fine but is a slow solvent. I have another project - coating the outer shell of a double skinned alpine type tent and thought that white spirit would be easier to 'air off' from the double skin which is permanently fixed - not a fly and inner arrangement

    Too that end, silicone coating nylon seems to stop the wet stretch / sag that tents and flys get
