mgaillar 0 #1 June 28, 2002 Just got my new rig. Unfortunately, I didn't think about scotchgaurding until after my rigger put it together. Is this something I can do by myself? At least the outside until the next repack? Or should the reserve and cypress come out first? I have a some white and yellow that I would like to protect before it gets handled too much. Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated! Matthttp://www.skydiveorange.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #2 June 28, 2002 I would definitely remove the CYPRES and reserve first. I asked two very knowledgeable RIgger guru's about Scotch Guard. They both said medium Scotch Guard (red cap). SHAKE the crap out of the can before application, and often DURING the application to prevent the liquid from clotting (which may stain the rig). One of the two guru's said TWO coats. I have a new Odyssey on the way with neon yellow pinstripes and embroidery. I plan on using the exact process mentioned above with the rig hanging up so I can keep the can level. I will coat the whole container, not just the light colored parts. Hope this helps . . . I look forward to seeing other feedback from those who have used Scotch Guard.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ee7joa 0 #3 July 2, 2002 Is there any disadvantage to ScothGaurding? besides the cost of the can? James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirils 1 #4 July 3, 2002 I've used ScotchGuard on a couple of my containers and don't think it worked that well, and it sure wasn't worth the cost. I just spray dry silicone on the fabric now and wash them occasionally with spray cleaner, a brush, clear water spray while using a wet vac to extract dirt and excess liquid. And yes, I do it packed."Slow down! You are too young to be moving that fast!" Old Man Crawfish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
