Thread: Epic DIY rain proofing

I was going to put this in tips and tricks but it's too good.
I found a thread on a foreign forum about DIY rain proofing and then browse YouTube clips on it.
I've now done it myself and it is absolutely brilliant.
Basically it a tube of pure silicone(not an ms) mized with either low odour turps or thinners. I used thinners at 50/50
I watered it down more than 5050. The. Used an old spray bottle. Ended up using a paint brush as well. It gets I to the material the dries and is super hydrophobic. Better than any stuff I've ever bought.
One guy on YouTube did his boots(and practically everything else.). I've now done the same.
I've redone my jacketvshoulders and hod until it's almost visible. You must use a clear not a translucent so that it's invisible.

Search it on you tube. Most people ateusi g it for siltarps seams.
I'm not a newby and have tried all sorts over the past 30yrs. I make leather condition ers as I'm a saddle maker and know leather. This is better for your boots that oil based conditioners.

Just thought I need to qualify my experience lol.

Anyway. Just thought in lead up to the roar some guys might appreciate such an awesome tip.
