You will know when it is time to replace factory polyurethane coatings because they tend to develop a foul odor, they may begin peeling or flaking away, or you may notice a sticky or gummy feeling. When this happens, it is time to remove the old polyurethane coating. It is important to remove the previous coating before applying the new coating of Seam Grip TF.

REMOVING THE PREVIOUS COATING

  1. Begin by filling a tub or container with enough warm water to submerge the item.
  2. Add about 5 drops of liquid soap.
  3. Submerge the item that needs cleaning and soak for 2-3 hours.
  4. Remove the item from the bath and gently scrub the polyurethane coating (typically applied to the underside of tent flies, the top side of tent floors, and the inside of backpacks) with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol, water, and a couple of drops of soap.
  5. Keep a dish towel nearby to soak up excessive residue.

Seam Grip TF will not work on silicone-treated fabrics nor sil-nylon.
