| 493455 | 2006-10-22 21:10:00 | Can you get something to re-waterproof a raincoat? Went to welly yesterday, (and true to form it was raining :p ) and the wee boy got soaked cos his raincoat wasnt as waterproof as it should be......... so as it is a very large coat, and will last a good few years. is it possible to get something to water proof it again? :confused: if so what is it, and where can i get it from? beetle |

| 493456 | 2006-10-24 05:56:00 | What fabric is the raincoat made of? Nylon, Oilskin, PVC etc. If oilskin then this is good. I know as I have used it on my coat. www.oilskin.com |

| 493459 | 2006-10-24 07:51:00 | Get a block of beeswax and rub it all over. (the raincoat, not the kid) | Greg (193) | ||
| 493460 | 2006-10-24 16:49:00 | get some spray on silicone or similar....... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 493461 | 2006-10-24 21:36:00 | Wait 'til they're tar sealing the road, just get the dude with the big spray gun to give him a squirt. Couple of give way signs and a pedestrian crossing just by way of decoration should give him quite a fetching ensemble. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 493462 | 2006-10-24 22:13:00 | Some drycleaners will do a waterproofing for you. It probably isn't sufficient for Wellington's horizontal torrential rain though. |

| 493463 | 2006-10-24 22:43:00 | Reminds me of a couple of visitors we had from Israel. They got soaked while walking in the Abel Tasman. Examination of the gear they had brought from home revealed that the label actually specified that it was "Almost Waterproof". Way to go. | Scouse (83) | ||

Couple of give way signs and a pedestrian crossing just by way of decoration should give him quite a fetching ensemble . :lol: It's damn good to have you back again, R2 . I hope you plan to stick around again for a while . :p |
