I've gone through a couple of those pump sprayers with Fabsil recently after buying the two products together online.
The first sprayer broke (stopped pumping) before I'd finished the tent.
The replacement sprayer lasted a little longer but when I came to use it again I found it was also no longer pumping up.
I think the silicone in the Fabsil might be ruining the seals.

More than likely, as it will be completely ruining your tent.

hi.
it is correct, if you leave fabsil in the sprayer, it will ruin the rubberseals..

New model of Pennine?

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

hi..
I think that it is a bad time to do that, because you shall leave it outside to dry ,it needs good airing, Fabsil have a very strong smell, it shall be dry before stowe away

Each spring in a good breeze I used a 5 litre tin.

I brushed it on with a long handled roller and paint tray.

I needed a tressle to stand on but had enough for 2 coats.
Dried off any that went on the windows with a dry cloth.
The tent would be dry to repack in a couple of hours and no lingering smell.

Never worried about marks due to uneveness, if anyone else did they never said!

Did it make any difference? I don't know.
I felt a whole lot better having done it however and there were never any leaks till the UV finally got to it.
