Don -- thanks for the tip about the temp. Never knew that. Well, one (good?) thing about the Florida sun in July and August is that it will give you just all the temp anyone could possibly want!
Greetings,
While I fully understand 303 is the recommended waterproofing treatment for Sunbrella, isn't there anything else at all available, cheaper? My canvas guy does not use 303 (according to him) and the product HE uses seems to act and last as long as 303. Alas, he will NOT tell me what he uses.
I do, in fact know, that there are some products that will damage Sunbrella and am loathe to experiment.

RT, we use Aqua-Tite on all canvas and Sunbrella. It works well in our very rainy town of Sitka. The local canvas shop sells it. Our boat cover is Sunbrella and it works fine with no damage.
I switched to 303 FabricGuard and advise others to go with Sunbrella manufacturer's recommendation. It may be a little more expensive but canvas aint cheap and anything that will prolong the life is probably worth the added $.
Cheap in the whole scheme of things
