[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 326285, member: 7608"] Update: I used the Star Brite waterproofing and was careful with the install as suggested by [MENTION=337]guywhofishes[/MENTION]. I put the cover on the boat and scrubbed/washed it with a flow thru RV brush using plain water. Let dry completely in the sun including a flip to make sure the underside was fully dry. Set up a boat shaped system of trash totes, ironing board and ladder ball game in the yard to spread the cover out at comfortable spraying height. Yesterday seemed like ideal weather with little wind, high temp, low humidity and low dew point. Wore long sleeve hooded shirt, pants, nitrile gloves, glasses and mask. Tried to stay out of the overspray. Applied thoroughly while avoiding puddling/saturating while giving special attention at stitched seams. Only caught a slight smell a couple times. Bottle suggests 6 hours dry time before moving. I got about 5 hours in before bringing it in before bed but was comfortable with that given the weather. Brought it inside and loosely draped it on the boat. No noticeable odor in the garage this morning. Cover looks and feels physically better. Another reason to hope for rain so I can see how it did. Would be hard to make the grass look much worse, so figured it would be better to risk overspray on the lawn than concrete. All in cost about $55 for Star Brite and cheap Walmart sprayer. Took around 10 hours but only about 2 hours of work. [/QUOTE]
