I'm about to re-proof my motorcycle cover this weekend but i have never used Fabsil before and on the tin it's talking about maintaining a "Wet Edge", being a newbie with this stuff can anyone explain to me what "Wet Edge" means?

It means that you should ensure what you are applying is joining up with a still wet bit, in other words don't do a bit here and another somewhere else just keep wet to wet

Several years ago, I got 2 from Hozelock, one is used as a deck shower, works brilliantly (Sold as such..) and another for this...tent proofing. A m/bike cover done in seconds?
