Not sure but maybe try some dubbin it's what I use on my work boots to waterproof them and I load it up pretty think on the stitching it seems to work in that situation...Matt
The canopy is a little bit old but still usable although now leaks a bit through the stitching. I don't want to go down the track just yet for forking out $2,500+ for new canopy, clears and side curtains and possibly more for a storm cover so that my load is legal when trailering so was wondering what products members have used to stop water leaking through the stiching, I thought there was something like a wax stick that could be used but not sure what is readily available these days.

A bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
I have used bees wax I am pretty sure a few years ago on a new canopy that had leaking stitching which seemed to fix the problem. I think I just rubbed it into and along the stitching seams. I have also heard of people using an appropriate silicon sealer with success
I have had a look on the net and found a few but seal grip seems to be the one that is consistently coming up as a suitable option - has anyone used this at all, thnks.
We used to use bee's wax on some of our older canvas marquee's, it comes in a tube shape like a candle and just run it over the top of the stitching.
camping place sell sealer spray for new tents ,years ago anyway
Yeah. I have got a can of waterproofing spray here somewhere which I assume would work. Also used to rub a stick of waterproof wax from camping store...I reckon the one on aerodrome rd Maroochy will carry it.

Hi, Check-out a bees wax type sealer called SNO-SEAL, Get it from ski shop or outdoor shop. Comes in tube. Warm it slightly and squeeze along stich line. Cheers john
seam seal is good use it on my trnts and swag get it from a camping shop
I was in whitworths today and they no longer sell seam sealers -so i guess i will try the other products mentioned and try the camping stores but then again the rain has stopped, there is no wind and I am finished painting the cupboard - might as well go fishing.
