use that stuff that says what it does on the tin...ooh i can't remember the name but it's £10 for 5 litres as apposed to fabsil which is £40 for 5 litres

I think you mean Thomsons brick sealant. Same ingredients at a fraction of the price of Fabsil.

read what it says on the side of the tin. loads of people on this forum have used it!
i too was sceptical until i got a tin and checked their website
this is what it says:

CANVAS/FABRICS: Thompson’s Water Seal waterproofs natural fabric, canvas, tents, tarpaulins, shoes, backpacks, sleeping bags, ground sheets,etc.
(Note: Thompson’s Water Seal may darken certain fabrics).

Thanks for that, yes i just had a look on their website, problem though, i knew i'd missed something, i have a Polyester tent, not so good i think

You dont need to reproof a Polyester tent.
