The coating progressively turned into a white powder that was filling my clothes during the cover/uncover process. I have sprayed the whole (cleaned) set with two thin coats of a plastic paint called "Plastivel". The result is a different looking, slightly more rigid and crisp glider cover. No water passes through the fabric now, even under heavy rain. I still can easily store the set in its bags, though the sound is definetely different. The seller claims that the treatment will last for more than 3 years. It is in commont use on camp tents and for sealing toxic-painted aquarium decorations from the vital environment. My 18m single seater required 8 cans of spray paint for a total cost of about 60 Euros. Plastivel: http://www.bricoliamo.com/17/37/546/ http://www.costruire.com/a+r/prod_sx...0&w=1332&n=153 The following product might be a good alternative, though it's based on rubber instead of plastic. http://www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip Any other suggestions?
