This says "Water repellent finish". How water repellent is it? Does liquid soak through? Thank you

It is great to repell water, milk, urine, all wet stuff does not soak, great protector

Liquid beads up on it, then spreads out to soak into top layer but moisture does not go through to back of fabric.

It hasn't leaked on me and I have used it for years under virtually all conditions. If I ever got wet it was either from condensation dripping off of the fly through the screen or trying to get in and out of the Solitaire in the rain.You can spray the fabric of the rainfly with "Scotchguard" water repellant. If that is not sufficient I think you could probably use the seam sealer liquid to coat the fabric.

Matte finish and it is non-color enhancing. At least, that's my experience with it after applications and weeks later. But water does bead up upon contact.

It's water/splash resistant, but not waterproof. You aren't supposed to submerse it in water or any liquid. It says you can shower in it, but I usually take mine off.

The surface must be dry when applying the product. I would recommend a product that is water proof if the surface will always be covered by water, this product is water resistant.

This is wet. i have a problem with my sliding glass door and the little Runners" it slides on. They get dried out and i can't open the door. I spray this on the track, run the door back and forth a few times and then it glides as it's supposed to. I hope this helps.

I am not impressed with it's "waterproof-ness". It does not completely wash off but smudges and disappears enough that I would not call it waterproof. I wore it before I worked out just to see how it stood up to sweating and it was about 20-30% gone when I was done. After my shower, it was more like 50-60%.

As stated, "WATER RESISTANT & MILDEW RESISTANT MADE FROM 100% COTTON DUCK CANVAS". It will repel a rain shower but l have never used it in a downpour. Searching 'Duck Canvas' represents it as water repellent. Not sure about fire resistance - I only use it when transporting mulch or dirt. I would give this product 10 thumbs up for doing exactly what I bought it for.

It repels the water. It does a great job though. I live in Florida and I've used it in heavy down pours and I was still dry underneath. It's a great product, definitely worth the money!

I only used it on my boat cover and it only smelt till it was dry, a couple hours. Once it dried on my boat cover it no longer smelt. My boat cover is now 100% waterproof, I'm happy with it.

I wouldn't go as far as saying waterproof. Water-repellent is more like it. It will definitely keep dry in a light rain, but not if you're out in it for hours or caught in a torrential downpour.

Hi! No this product is not water repellant. It is more the snuggly warm-keep the elements off whilst headed for the car type of gear. I believe my daughter in law sprayed it with a scotchgard type water repelling spray for that "extra coverage". She finds this very useful.

I think the answer to the question of it being waterproof has a lot to do with the surface upon which you are applying the ink. I applied the ink to a paper envelope and ran it under the faucet for a few seconds as well as ran my finger over the area stamped and the presentation held very well. I have also applied it to plastic and it will smear and come off. Not sure how additional elements (e.g. extended exposure to sunlight, rain, etc.) will affect it.

I haven't used it for waterproofing but I just tested it out and it does appear to be. I put the fabric underneath my faucet and the water slipped right off and whatever stayed on easily wiped off. I also noticed that the water did not soak into the fabric.

Most of these products are hydrophobic (beads up). This is great for windshield applications where the wind blows these beads off and you can see thru them. The problem with this for exterior window or shower use is if the water has any hardness or soap residual in it, this will dry with the bead leaving the "spotting". However, these products do make the wiping down/cleaning of the surfaces easier and less prone to staining, ideally before the droplets have dried. If one can restore the glass to it's original hydrophilic state where the water sheets down the spotting will be minimized as the water with any hardness / residual is carried down the glass.
