Question black-out in pop up

The black-out inside my pop-up blind is fading. Is there such a thing as spray on liner to fix this problem? Maybe a carbon-type coating to help with odor elimination? TIA

Unhappy reply from Cabela's

Hello Rush

Thank you for contacting Cabela's.

I am not aware of any product available that would repair the black out inside your pop-up blind that would not affect the fabric in some way or give off an odor. I apologize for any inconvenience. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
It was my pleasure to assist you.


Thank you for visiting cabelas.com and come back soon.
Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
Greg H.

I am looking for a way to repair the black-out coating inside my pop-up blinds. Light is filtering inside and silhouetting me when I am inside the pop-up. I'm thinking surely there is some type of spray-on coating similar to water sealant, or even a paint-on variety. Any insight you can provide would be greatfully appreciated. Thank you.

I just stayed mine with flat black aerosol paint.
I do it on a regular basis as blind upkeep.
I have a 15 yr old Double Bull.
Yes there is an odor but this is spring maintenance. Leave it set up a while and all is fine.

That was exactly my thought as to how to take care of the problem. Just spray it well ahead of the hunting season you plan to use it in so the odor can dissipate before use.

Thanks, guys. I was thinking that as I was reading Cabela's response, because I spray waterproofing on my popups every year, and let them sit outside for a couple of days to air out, and I've never had a problem. Their response didn't make much sense to me. It also seems like a kind of product that someone would have developed and marketed by now. Thank you for backing up my initial thoughts.
