Thanks Erbswurst.

Used Nikwax cotton proof on my MTP gen2 windproof smock, tried a small area 6" by 2" on the material i removed from the hood modification using a 9 to 1 product to water brushed on.The test worked great water ran off like a ducks back.So I didnt fancy using this stuff in the washing machine for...

Sounds like a familiar theme. S

Hi John do you use the same amounts of water and product with the rug proof pretty sure a smock will be smaller than a horse blanket so was thinking less product possibly.Sounds like a good way of doing the job and work out cheaper than cotton proof.

So are you using the nikwax stuff thats designed for goretex and similar fabrics where a DWR coating is required? I wasn't aware this stuff was suited to cotton and poly cotton mixes.The nikwax rug proof stuff has been mentioned as a decent alternative to the cotton proof stuff.I am confused...

Hi looking at a similar plan how did It work out size wise and plan to dye the jacket please?

Seen some poor reviews of the nikwax cotton proof but that may be due to the material treated being a polycotton mix,i belive the company states suitable for poly cotton mixes but I guess its about what the proportions are.

Is this stuff safe for use on human clothing or is it just cheaper more effective than the nikwax other alternatives, easier to apply?
