Waterproofing canvas and cleaning Ison glass

Mike Kulp · Post by **Mike Kulp** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:45 pm

Just finished waterproofing my canvas, I use a product called Aqua-tite that I have been using for years and was very happy with until last year they changed the formula to make it enviromentally safe they now call it Aqua-tite green. I does not seem to hold up as well as it use to although last year was a record forth rain. I was wondering what everybody uses and are you satisfied with the product also I use a product called 210 for my Ison glass that is the best I ever used.

Hope you're not getting any waterproofing overspray on that car.

34 Ford with a 350 ci fuel injected small block. and Paul i made sure there was no over spray, customer would not be happy although he wants to paint it because it is not quite perfect. It would be fine for me.

Mike,

I've used the StarBright waterproofing with PTFE on my tonneau covers over the years with good results. Covers are made of Sunbralla material.

I don't use any waterproofing, as my canvas has some kind of ruberized undercoating.

Someone told me years ago to use furniture polish on the glass and I have used it ever since. It works great. My canvas is only two years old and the guy that made it for me told me it doesn't need any type of waterproofing treatment.

Great looking car.

Dont think you have isingglass it is made of mica you probably clear vinyl. A lot of guys are not old enough to remember real isinglass, it used to be used a lot for winter time as a "storm window".

I have not seen any for years.

If it's strataglass, you can use pure Collinite carnuba wax. Thats what was originally recommended before they started make "just for strataglasss" products. I use it in all my vinyl and it keep s it clean and flexible.

For the canvas, Sunbrella recommends the 303 products... http://www.sunbrella.com/cleaning/marin ... covers.php

OUCH ! Bleach to clean? I not that brave. Here's the cheapest price I've found for the 32oz size.
