Have you ever sprayed scotch guard on your BASE rig?
Just curious, did it in the past with my SKY rigs.

i did same with skydiving rigs, haven't applied to base rig, but i will now that you reminded me.

Container only - not comfortable with application to canopy, unless it's recomended / approved by manufacturer or at least widely acceptaed practice with supporting reasons? Anyone?

Yup, on base rigs, skydiving rigs, and wingsuit where the cordura is. Seems to work quite well.

my BASE rig is black and red so i didn't worry about it, my skydiving rig has WAY too much white trim tape on it so hell yeah. sprayed the shit out of it.

so question, if you spray it on your canopy will it make it zp...hahahaha

I know boaters who do the same to older sails so they can get a few extra knots speed. They buy it by the gallon jug.
