I want to check whether to spray Fabrisil on the inside or outside of my tent?
I don't have a leak but last time it rained a bit of water came through the seam, which is no surprise with the amount of rain that fell on it. So better be safe than sorry I am going to spray them all.
I think I saw a message that said inside but can't find it.
Thanks ever so much.

To answer your specific query (without a Health & Safety lecture) There is no problem applying it from the inside (in fact, given the height of a FC/TT, application to the roof from the inside is the only way)
Spray it (or brush it) and then rub it into the cavas with a clean white cloth,. Then allow to dry. It's important that no rain affects it until it's dried. Just to set the record straight (and to counter the many hysterical old-wives tales that seem to be circulating on here!) re-proofing does NOT (repeat NOT!) mean that you will need to do it anually! I've no idea where this nonsense orginated - but, trust me, it *is* just *that* - absolute and complete nonsense. Fabsiling your canvas is just about the best thing you can do for it - in addition to waterproofing it, it will help stop fading, and greatly assist in reducing the possibility of mildew.
