|
|
My better half want to know what is recommended to use as a spray on to resist fading and to add waterproofing. I have seen several versions and imagine they are all ok but wanted to know if one was more effective over time. Still learning the ins and outs of sewing kites and the first ones were done with fabric store Ripstop so would like to do what I can to preserve them. I know, I know, now I am buying the proper fabric.  _________________ Bernie

I would try to find something with a lot of UV protection.
Look at a boat parts store..... _________________ VR/
