RE: waterproofing portable groundblind
You' re welcome Loner ,
Atsko Silicone is one of the few that I know will preserve water repellency without odor . I will be airing my new one out shortly , and then treating it with cover scent before putting it back in it' s pouch until gun season . I don' t add water repellent at all .
I left my old one out for 2 weeks last year with the blaze topper on , and the topper faded badly on the sun side , it didn' t do the rest of the blind much good either . Pop-up blinds have been a godsend to me , I love portability when I hunt . If the action ain' t happening where I am I can always pack up and still hunt , and I don' t waste any time fretting over what camo pattern to wear .
