Drybags? etc IIRC, there are at least two kinds of 303, one for nonporous surfaces (Hypalon, gel coat, etc.) and one for fabric. I have only used the first kind on: latex seals (many years -- seems to have no ill effects) Hypalon hull of my folding boat (many years -- makes it slippery until it oxidizes (wears?) off -- duct tape won't stick to the Hypalon until it wears off) gel coat of fibreglass/polyester resin kayaks (couple years) I bet the first kind is OK for "vinyl" products such as the material most drybags are made of. These are almost always PVC, I believe. However, I would use the "fabric" version on nylon goods (such as some lighter weight dry bags). -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
