Does this work for waterproofing as well? I want UV and water protection for outdoor pillows & cushions.

I am not sure. It didn't even work to keep the color in my wreath. I tried it three different times.

Ray Bloc does contain a reduced amount of waterproofing but if you need maximum waterproofing, we suggest our Aqua Armor Fabric Waterproofing Spray. There are different formulas of Aqua Armor so match your application and your fabric type to the appropriate formula.

Yes, as far as sunproofing is concerned- I think I would spray it with the sunblock and then with a waterproof spray on top - just to be on the safe side. I used mine on a cover for a hot tub and it has worked well. I get more damage from sun than rain- especially in California these days!

Ok do not believe so, however, they are well made for outdoor use and have a easy to clean smooth yet soft exterior, not plastic. Unlike typical pillows that would allow water through, I don't believe these will. I bought them as a gift for a porch patio bench for my in-laws. They won't be tested until spring.

Yes - it will work well. Of course the seam grip with be completely waterproof - but you can spray the rest of the fabric with a water repellant.

Yes it can be used for outdoor items. And it does dry clear. Follow the directions and you will have success.

Yes you can, I used it on memory foam pillows. It is great if you can leave it out in the sun as well.

Yes, I live by the beach and I am protecting my patio furniture cushions with this covers. I love them!

I don't know. I would assume it has some weather resistance. I bought it for outdoor use for cinching down on covers I am making. If they are in the sun I'm sure the UV light will eventually degrade them over time. But I plan on keeping them cover where possible. Hope that helps!

I have not tested the waterproofing. However, I do not believe it can be used as an outdoor dog bed.

I would be sure to use outdoor fabric that stands up to weather and sun, but otherwise, they should be okay outdoor pillows.

Yes, the waterproofing effect works as well on clean, smooth surface leather items. However, if the smoothness comes from a wax coating, the effect and its permanency is much diminished. As for "nu-buck" (sanded outside leather, suede-like in appearance), the stuff is also effective, but be aware of the significant darkening it produces, proportional to the density of application. Try it on a less visible portion of your material (perhaps the edge of the tongue) to gauge whether the color change is acceptable. Good luck.

If this cover is on the pillow, the pillow will be protected. Obviously if you submerge the pillow in water for a long period of time, water may eventually damage the pillow. If you spill something, splash the pillow, etc., then the pillow protector does its job.

Yes. This Ray Bloc is terrific stuff. Have used it on my yellow outdoor umbrella and chair cushions. SPF is the sun protection factor. A high factor works best to prevent fading and sun damage on fabrics exposed to the sun. Hope this helps.

Yes. So far, after the first winter, they are waterproof and have protected the patio furniture well. We did however remove the cushions over the winter and stored them in our garage attic.

We have used the covers for our winter here in South lake Tahoe with good results. They have protected our outdoor furniture successfully. The cushions were dry when we uncovered this last weekend.

As for UV protection it is comparable to both the Sun Mountain and the Gustbuster UV versions. I've used both.

Yes, This would be good for outdoor chairs, but I might try to get 3" thick for benches or 2 person swings, but that's just a personal preference. I don't think it's water resistant though, so I would use a more water-resistant fabric/scotchgard or bring it in out of the rain.

I bought it for an outdoor couch. It lasted thru a few rain storms, but I left it out one too many times? It might work if I change the battery? Dry that out? It's made of water resistant nylon. Maybe if you cover the battery compartment with something water proof? But the rest of it is waterproof. Worth the money.
