- I usually just buy a can of Scotchguard from the local supermarket/drug store.
- It's an aerosol can (red & white, I believe) and is often found with other
- cleaning supplies like laundry soap. I spray it on according to the directions
- and it works very well at repelling water. Do the spraying outside or in
- a very well ventilated area because of the fumes/smell. It's probably very
- similar to the CAMP Dry you mention (except maybe for price). Check it out.
