Canvas Waterproofer?

[Half Off]

I just finished cleaning my bimini's inside and out. While they are drying on the back deck I got to thinking this would be a good time to give them a new coat of waterproofing spray. I ran out to the local Wal-Mart and they carry a silicone based spray. Not knowing if that stuff is what I want, I decided to check with my buddies at CSR for their input. What do you think, is the Wal-Mart stuff OK?

Does anyone know if any of the chain stores carry 303? I'd like to do this today or tomorrow before the weather changes.

303 is the only wateproofing agent that Glen Raven Mills, the maker of Sunbrella, recommends, and the only one that will not void the remaining warranty on the fabric, if there is any remaining.

OK you guys sold me. I googled it and it looks like I'll have to order some. That will give me one more thing to do next spring.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I bought all of mine off the shelf at West Marine.

I have picked up some 303 at Fleet Farm and Gander Mountain before. It is all usually about the same price.
