I also use 303 products on my Klepper folding Kayak which has a hypalon hull and cotton deck. Regular 303 is used for the hypalon and 303 FabricGuard for the deck. The FabricGuard is an excellent product, which is most cost effectively used out of a 1 gallon can and applied with a paint brush. The aerosol alternative is more easily inhaled and is wasteful and expensive. Take care not to get the FabricGuard onto the hyalon as it is based on a petroleum spirit solvent which will cause the hypalon to swell and discolor. If some does splash on the hypalon then wipe it off reasonably quickly. The FabricGuard seems to protect the canvas from UV and mould and also waterprrofs it making the boat lighter to paddle.
