    Hey guys just needed some input about any great water-proofing spray that I can spray on one of my older shelters. Last year it was starting to let the water through. The shack is in mint shape so that is why I hung on to it. Looking for a spray that wont have you choked out all winter from smell and something that works well.

    I have used the Nikwax prodcut and found it to be very successful and easy to use on portable shacks.

    I’d be careful using any of that stuff if you run a heater in your shack.

    I’ve went through all that and it has no aerosals or flamable components to the mixture.

    Any idea if the sprays will reduce the annoying condensation on the top or is this product used just as a water proofer.

    No, condensation is a function of ventilation to remove the vapor from your breath. Even a breathable material will have some form of condensation that has to be corrected by an additional vent being open.

    Not only breath but propane heaters puts out a lot of water, as stated ventilation.
