: Wayne,

: I used white KoolKote from Lowe's. I believe Paul Jacobson has posted in the
: past that he has thinned similar material for canvas to get it to
: penetrate. I applied it to Dyson's 8 and 12 oz basket weave ballistic
: nylons without thinning and it stuck very well and soaked into the fabric.
: The instructions state that it should not be thinned, but then that is for
: roofs... It is possible that the bond to the nylon might be a bit better
: if it is not thinned. Time will tell, and I do not have a season of hard
: use on the material to answer the question.

: Rick

I thinned SnowRoof some for canvas, but the test swatches on polyester turned out great without thinning. Snow Roof says it can be thinned 10% with water.
