Gold Fabsil has more of the waterproofing agent, normal Fabsil has UV protection.
Thanks for the video, reassured me I'm doing it ok.
@@danstormer I’m going to try gold next time but this has worked really well for me but defo try the gold
Cheers👍🏼
From my understanding it’s standard for summer tents and gold for year round/winter tens.
@@ianburn68 ok cheers I’ll have a look👍🏼
Great vid I’ve just got my old tracker armadillo out of storage and need to retreat it 👍
@@MrRodigan apparently the gold is better but Ive not tried that one yet
Cheers👍🏼
Yeah thank-you for my free gift bud .I absolutely love it ...Will be using that many times ....Great product to have as part of my kit ...tight lines bud 🎣😁
No problem buddy
Just ordered some thank you, other vid I saw I chap slapping on and his lawn is now waterproof....

Nice demo mate and something that all anglers should do to keep our bivvies in tip top nick cheers
Yea I do mine every year once they get to the stage they need it
Thanks
Great product been using it for years, make sure you give the tin a good shake before using. Thanks Tym.
Thanks for that yea I always shake it well once it’s been standing but good shout I forgot to mention it
Cheers

Hi
Thanks for comment
your welcome
Cheers 👍🏼
what would be the odds i was looking for a video for doing my bivvy and i just bought the exact same one 3 days ago from a local regenerate store time to waterproof it now ty for a informative video tights lines ;-)
Hi pleased it’s helped you just got my winter bivvy out ready so I’ll be getting videos of it when raining to prove it works
Cheers👍🏼
Great vid, thanks
Hi thanks 👍🏼
Another good video . Is it possible to spray it on in a pump up spray gun
I suppose you could if it wasn’t to windy but I prefer painting it on
Thanks
Thanks for this review has helped.
I got a cheap tent for my first camping trip only to find out afterwards they are prone to leaking. Will this stuff fill in the seams or would I need extra proofing for them
Hi
It does work on tents aswell we do ours 👍🏼
Nice and easy
For a bivvy with a 2000HH rating, would this improve it?
Cheers dude!
@@samroberts8886 hi
I and others have used it on lots of bivvys or tents( I camp aswell) I wouldn’t put it on a new one I usually wait until I notice the rain isn’t running off and just starts to soak in then I do it and from then on do it once a year
Cheers👍🏼
Would this work on the sides of a campervan pop top roof ?
What would you recommend to clean the canvas first .. there seem to be mould marks on a few areas of the canvas.
No doubt this product could be sprayed on too .. it would be easier for large areas .. i think
thanks !
Hi
I once tried spraying, never again I prefer to paint it on
I’m sorry I can’t comment on the camper as I’ve never done one of those, I have done a gazebo in the garden and it worked on that material
It’s best to clean before putting in
Thanks 👍🏼
Would this work if the taped seems are gone?
Hi Ive no idea as mine are still intact but it will work on material so that most of the bivvy anyway
Do you know what thinking about it as I was typing this I’ve also used this in a gazebo we use in the garden and that hasn’t got taped seems and I fairly sure that was ok last time we used it in the rain
Hope that helps
Cheers 👍🏼
wtf i was waiting for the noddy theme tune to start up fooking shocking dont waterproof a waterproof yet he just did it lool this the sort that says the fox frontier is amazing and fabsils that as well only 20.000 SH loool to funny he will learn over the years
Hi
Thanks for your comment
I’ve not fabsil my frontier as it dosent need it but this bivvy is getting on a bit and was letting water in so it was time to do it
It’s everyone’s own opinion if they do it or not but just showing how I do it incase people want to so they can save money instead of buying a new one
Cheers
Wicked video mate do ya reckon a litre will be enough for a tracker one man bivvy.
I think my 5 litre can has done approx 5-6 Bivvys
Cheers👍🏼
@@TymsCarpTv cheers mate
Hi thanks for the reply regarding the fox 2 man I have the 2 man armo like this I waterproof it each year but this weekend been out and the outer skin has just leaked like its had nothing on do you think it's the age of the bivvi over 10 years old fabsil has always worked for me in the past it was the winter wrap that leaked might try it one more time with fabsil if it still leaks then look at the fox
Hi
I’ve never owned a bivvy that long so can’t answer that one ,sorry
Is Fabsil Gold worth the extra?
Hi this is my first year using fabsil gold I usually use the ordinary fabsil
Due to house move I’ve only been out once in the rain which is when I filmed the update to this video ( have a look at that one I chuck bucket water on it )
So far I’d say it’s a bit better
Cheers👍🏼
How long would you say it takes to try ? Has in the tin says 6 hours ?
If it’s a nice day it’s much quicker than 6 hours
I’d say 1-4 hours weather depending
Cheers👍🏼
@@TymsCarpTv awesome video by the way never done it before so this be my first time had ma bivvy out this evening just gave it an wipe over so it’s now dry and clean ready for tomorrow as hopefuly to get out of work early so gives me all afternoon on it :)
@@simonphelps8924 thanks
Don’t panic at the smell it does go away just let it completely dry before packing away
I also did a video chucking water on it after I fabsiled it have a look at that one

Whats the best stuff to clean the bivvys before fabsil as mines covered in tree sap
Hi
Mines usually mud I think ( don’t really check😂)
I usually if bad just wash it with water depending how bad, bucket and sponge or hose pipe sponge or carefully pressure wash but not to close if pressure washer
I think if it survives this year it may need a really good clean so I may have to look into it aswell but I’ll probally use a bit of fiary liquid to clean it then pressure wash it off but others may have better ideas
Thanks tym
@@TymsCarpTv that's what I was thinking using a bit of Wark soapy water as I'm assuming sap is kinda like wax so If I can warm it up hopefully it can disperse a bit better and from the inside it looks like mold when I look up lol
@@craftycarperbobby6172 that’s what I’ll be doing when I pack it away after winter 👍🏼
Is it any good for jackets Tyms
Now that I can comment as I tried to do my old trakker jacket and it didn’t seem to work on that as good as it does on the bivvys
Cheers👍🏼
I've got grease marks on my bivvy will this get rid of them as well as waterproof ?
Hi jack im sorry I can’t answer that question as I’ve never tried it for that only for waterproofing
quick question can you do this on a nash titan if so does that have to be done from the outside?
Hi I’m sorry I’ve never owned a Nash titan so I couldn’t comment safely,but, what sort of material is it, if it’s like this tracker v3 I’d feel ok to do it if it’s a different material then if it was me I’d just do a small section at the bottom of the bivvy let it dry and see how it is
I always do them on the outside never on the inside
Cheers
@@TymsCarpTv thank u for advice
@@themaskeddetectiveukbackup3163 no problem cheers👍
Can you spay it on ?????
Hi yes you can but personally I like to use the brush so I can put plenty on and rub it right into the seams
I did try spraying once it was quicker but I didn’t feel it done as good a job and it went everywhere and used more so now stick to paining it on
Cheers👍🏼
thanks!
Can I do my titan t1 mk11 with fabsil?
Hi Dave
What type of material is it
@@TymsCarpTv armoured nylon pal (thick nylon)
@@daveshaw5293 hi
I can’t find anything about it so
All I can say is
I’ve never owned one so I’ve never fabsiled one
But they use fabsil on all sorts of tents aswell
If it was mine and it needed to be sealed I would try a small patch at the bottom first and let that dry then test it with water that way you’ll know as you can put water on both sections treated and not treated
Thanks
@@TymsCarpTv thanks for that il try that and see what happens 👍
@@daveshaw5293 let me know how you get on buddy 👍🏼
