Art fair season is fast approaching. Acceptances and rejections have been coming in this week. Soon it will be time to re-seal my popup canopy to keep it water tight. Any recommendations?

I haven't tried this myself, but I hear that lots of artists use sealers made for camping tents. It's not expensive and very effective when applied once a year. You can also pack a roll of white duct tape for temporary patches during a show.

I have used this on all my boat covers for years-and once on a canopy cover
they make a cleaner as well

When you are at sea you need to be able to fix/repair/rethink/get back/survive without others
That stuff works great

I sprayed it to the outside-on a warm day after washing it a few days before lightly with a hose.
I do my two boat covers with it ever 3 years the same way
You should most likely test it on a small spot first
All fabrics are treated differently.

Thanks Mark. I think that's exactly what I need. I got into a massive downpour at a fair last year, but my booth was brand new. Many of my neighbors had old booths that were not sealed, and they were a mess. Some had water inside picture frames and lost a lot of work. My pots don't mind getting wet, but I do!
