padding ,lick roller spraying or immersion.

The required amount of FABGUARD required depends on the fabric and the level of water
repellent required. Generally a level of 1.5 % and 3% by weight by weight of fabrics required.

After treatment, the fabric should be air dried to remove solvent and to allow the water
repellent to develop. This normally takes three days but can be reduced by a short heat
cure (45 deg C or 113 deg F)
