We used the thompsons waterseal on our FC canvas and it never let us down. We gave it a couple of thinner layers than a heavy layer. I bought a cheap garden pump sprayer and used that to spray most of it and a small brush for some of the bits near the windows and down by the joint onto the trailer body. I think there is a certain snobbery about it though as it isn't marketed for tents like the fabsil is. Although the fabsil is over twice the price.
At the end of the day it is all down to personal preference.

can we use this waterseal on a non canvas tent?

 we have an ex display vermont xl.

 thanks

Hi just to let you know that the new thompsons water seal is no longer any use to us campers as it is now water based and does not waterproof the canvass i contacted water seal and they informed me of this, however Wicks own water seal just as good we have just proofed two trailer tents  

Cheapest i've seen Thompsons is screw fix and if you live near a trade counter you wouldn't even have to pay delivery!
