would this work as waterproofing on new tent

I don't think so. it is basically for shoes. I would think that you would need something more like what they use on boat canvas and tops. A marine supply store could help you with this. Good luck.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I did read that somewhere that it is but I cannot find the documentation I had with it. However, I believe it would be waterproof in a light rain. I do not believe it would be water proof in a heavy rain. It also does not have a floor in it so when the ground around it gets wet, that would eventually seep into the "dry" ground area under the "tent".

You could, if you have a bin/bucket large enough to soak it in. I suppose you could water it down and turn it into a spray and then spray it over the tent when it is up. I used this product on the rain cover for my tent by soaking it in a large plastic bin (probably unnecessary measure as it is lined with plastic). If you wanted to waterproof your tent I'd think it would be easier to get the spray version of this product. I personally haven't used it so I can't speak to how well it works. This product worked well for waterproofing 2 rain jackets, 1 soft shell, 2 full brim field hats, some shorts (worked for like 3 washes on the shorts, but I didn't give them full treatment) and one rain cover for my tent. Hope this helps

The tarp is certainly waterproof. The trick is to rig it so that it is properly supported and water is allowed to run off. I used mine as an awning attached to the front of my camper. I rigged it at an angle so rain ran off and water couldn't pool in it.

I had product stay dry under the canopy when all the walls were up. The issue is of relative humidity, if too high condensation forms inside of the canopy and drips down onto things. I covered things up when closed for the night. I haven't used it extensively though so can't say how long the waterproofing will last.

I don't think so. I think it would stay a little bit sticky for several days and make a mess of your tent. Sewing a patch on would work better.

What do you need to waterproof? it worked really well on a tent. One year we had to take a few days off from our camping trip and stay in a hotel so our tent could dry out, and the next year we were able to camp throughout despite a fair bit of rain because we had waterproofed the tent with Nikwax and sealed the seams.

No. It is not absolutely waterproof. If you want it more waterproof you can seal the seams in the canopy (look for "seam sealer"), it should then be pretty tight.

You will need to waterproof it really well but the description says you can't use it in a wet environment, I used it on my fence and didn't paint over it too well so once the paint peeled the stuff got kinda soggy and came off.

If the surface is clean it will work well. I used this on a tent surface (not nylon, but military style tent) that was dirty, it held for a while but comes off every now and then, so I re-stick it, and it seems to hold for a week or so again. This is the best Duct style tape I have found though, so I would recommend it.

No. I've had it for two years and haven't waterproofed it yet. Great tent. We were just in a very heavy long rain and the tent was dry.

I think so. I'd lay a blanket down first to protect the tent floor. It's definitely not made for outside use. It's thin nylon and wouldn't provide much protection from the elements. But for outside play during the day I think it would work.

We are using a tarp and it kept the tent dry under heavy rain. I never used a footprint for this tent.

I would say just custom cut your own out of some heavy duty plastic. Just remember not to have any of it sticking out beyond the edge of the tent or if it does rain it will collect on whatever is sticking out and go right under the tent.

In testing it means the fabric will shead water and have minimal pass-through. For truly waterproof you need a fabric that has something more than a DWR coating. Silnylon is this. This is what tents are made of. -rpm

it is rather heavy and does not, to me, seem appropriate for tent camping. Plus you would definitely need to cover it completely and keep it totally dry otherwise tent camping would probably ruin it.

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.
