I have a 40 year old Coleman cabin tent, would this product be the best for waterproofing this tent? What is the size of this can .

John - This product would be perfect - have purchased 4 cans of this UVX-1 products - works fantastic - used on my 26 ft Rinker Captiva boat ( canvas 8 years old ) - deck umbrella ( 10 years old ) - grill cover and deck furniture covers - all canvas - beads up perfect - totally pleased - suggestion - directions say paint on product - DO NOT - tried first by brush - turned white and caked up - then got smart and purchased a good pump sprayer from Home Depot ( $ 5.00 ) and sprayed on - perfect and beads up better than brushing on. Get calm day and spray on. You will be dry and pleased with look of finished product. Good luck. Phil

My husband bought a sealant and sprayed the seams of the tent, rain fly, and the far sides of the tent that are exposed. He sprayed it and let the tent set in our garage about 2-3 days to make sure it was good and dry. I think he said he spent like 8 dollars on the sealant and it comes in an aersol can, much like spray paint. Hope this helps.

My experience has been that a tarp smaller than the tent footprint is better than one that's larger than the footprint. Place what tarp you have under the areas of the tent that will get more traffic/load

a one quart can covered a space of about four feet bu six feet. i dont know if that is any help to you? but it seems to cover well and once it dries that real stickeyness is gone. for me it did a great job. will be purchasing more for my son inlaws camper roof. also its clear so you dont see if your sloppy.

I think the tent is only water resistant not water proof... I'd write Clam and ask what they recommend to make it more water proof..

This Rainfly I bought was for Coleman Instant Tent 8 but you can certainly find the right size Rainfly, if you search around. Good Luck

Contact Coleman and ask them. The seam sealer you use depends on the material used on the tent and can vary from brand to brand, and even model to model.

From personal experience, I can't comment one way or another because it hasn't rained while we've used the tent. From my reading of other reviews before I decided on the Coleman, it seemed as though the tent holds it's own unless your in a pretty solid rain storm without the rainfly.As a side bit of info on the 6 man tent- it's really more suited for 4. 6 would fit, but you'd be tucked in pretty tight and you'd have no space for your gear.

This stove is kind of big for a "small" tent. It's more suited for a larger canvas tent like Cabela's sells. I haven't been able to find a small tent for winter camping that suits my needs so I've decided to make an umbrella tent (probably about 9' X 9') out of the silver colored tarp material and make an ammo can wood stove to heat it. Both can be found on You Tube if you're interested. Good luck, stay dry...... //Bruce//

It is roughly 5 x 8. It is a great tarp, light and compact. I recently used it on a quick backpacking trip when a sudden wind/rain came up. I'm currently using an eno hammock and the tarp made a quick rain/wind block. I'm thinking about getting a bigger one to throw in my camping stuff. Todd

I have not used a Coleman canister before, but keep in mind that for common usage ( warm weather) all canisters/ brands should work. I think different mixtures affects cold weather applications .

I used a 10x16 tarp, but it needed to be folded a little so it was completely hidden under the tent. The perfect size would be 15x6 if you could find it.If any part of the tarp sticks out from under the tent when it is raining, the rain will roll down the side of the tent onto the tarp causing it to pool up on the tarp under the tent. The bottom of your tent will get soaked!

Lots of duct tape worked for me. I taped it from the out side and inside. Had to cut away some of the tent material. To get a snug fit.

obviously there will be some slack because of your dimensions. this is a great temporary cover. it will last you about a year for a waterproof cover, then a water repellent after that. the sun will break it down quickly. id recommend a good fabric sealer to spray on it.

Seam sealing; and water proofing spray will make it water proof. No tent is completely waterproof except 4 season tents; like what they use on Everest.

I used this to wash my 30 year old Eureka mountain tent that has a water repellent coating. It worked well and did not destroy the coating. This was a hand wash process done in a bathtub.

I don't believe so, I purchased the product to keep the rain water from seeping through our 10x10 canopy at craft shows. I believe it is more of a repellant for water than a sealing agent.
