Richard Grosvenor Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Its called "Grangers Fabsil" I've not used it yet as it has been to wet to re-proof the canvas on the Militant but it looks like good stuff, it also protects the canvas from UV light.

Karoshi Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 WAR PAINT from RR Services. This has a colour pigment and will shade faded canvas back to OD. It also waterproofs of course. Fabsil is good but clear and Brickseal is cheaper. War paint is about £18.50 for 2.1/2 ltrs and you will need 2 or 3 for the 353. Just done the Jeep canvas so if you can hang on till I see you next you can judge for yourself. Karoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks chaps, that is just the job. Karoshi, I will bring a bucket of water with me next weekend.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Grainger's Mesowax.....that is available in olive / khaki flavour as well as clear. I think Fabsil is a silicone product. Kewelde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Is Mesowax still available? I thought it had been replaced by Fabsil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoshi Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Interesting Kewelde, I tried to obtain some last year and contacted Grangers direct, they said it was no longer available, perhaps this was because they manufacture for outsourcing. Good stuff all the same. An after thought on Fabsil for those intending to use it, beware of glued seams or repaired patches, Fabsil will unstick them, and at £35;00 a gallon it could be expensive.

ashley Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi all, i belive Meso-wax is still available from good camping shops, i did not think Fabsil was recommended for canvas :roll: ?? Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
