Hi, I have a Royal Navy Greatcoat that I plan to give a few layers of Grangers Fabsil liquid to, however after reading a thread here about Grangers Fabsil on Ventile fabric and learning that the Ventile fabric works by getting wet and expanding the fibres to create a waterproof membrane it has got me thinking that Melton Wool may work in the same process.
Would anybody know if Grangers Fabsil liquid would work well on the Melton Wool of a Royal Navy Greatcoat please?
I know that Melton Wool can absorb up to 70% of water and still stop water coming through, I just wanted to waterproof it as to stop it absorbing 70% of water to keep it lighter and keep the water laden weight down.
Any experienced knowledgable advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex.
