FAQs

How often should I reapply Grangers Tent + Gear Repel UV?

Reapplication frequency depends on the item's usage and exposure. Typically, it is recommended to reapply after cleaning or when you notice the fabric is no longer beading water effectively, usually once or twice a year for regularly used items.

Can I use this on waterproof-breathable fabrics like Gore-Tex?

While suitable for 'all fabrics', it's always best to check the manufacturer's care instructions for specialized fabrics like Gore-Tex. Grangers offers specific products for technical outdoor clothing that may be more appropriate.

What is the best way to prepare my tent before applying the spray?

Ensure your tent is clean of dirt and grime. For best results, set the tent up fully or lay it flat and ensure the fabric is damp or wet before spraying.

Will this product make my gear fire retardant?

No, this product is designed for water and stain repellency and UV protection. It does not add fire retardant properties.

How long does the water repellency last?

The durability of the repellency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It is designed to provide durable protection that lasts through several uses and washes, but reapplication is recommended periodically.

Can I use this on my camping sleeping bag?

This product is suitable for tents, awnings, boat covers, and outdoor furniture. While it can be applied to synthetic fabrics, it's not specifically designed for insulating materials like sleeping bags. Always check the sleeping bag manufacturer's care label.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency not fully restored

Ensure the fabric was clean and appropriately damp/wet before application. Multiple light coats may be necessary for heavily worn items. Check if excess product was adequately removed.

Uneven finish or water spotting

This can occur if excess product was not removed properly. Gently wipe with a damp cloth to even out the finish while the fabric is still damp. Ensure even spraying distance.

Product leaves residue on non-fabric surfaces

Protect surrounding areas thoroughly before application. Wipe away any overspray immediately with a damp cloth.

Gear still feels damp after drying

Ensure the gear was allowed to dry naturally and completely in a well-ventilated area. Do not rush the drying process or pack away damp items.
