  • [Photo Feature]: Urgent Help: Silicone Spray for jackets

    Hello Friends,

    I need some guidance on where I can lay my hands on a Silicone spray used for riding jackets

    I have been hunting on the net for the same and all I come up with is Silicone sealents used in everything else but jackets

    Silicone spray increases the water resistance of the jacket and is extreamly useful in monsoons. You will only find water seeping into your jacket after riding for more than an hour in heavy rains.
    When the jacket was brand new (not washed) I witnessed amazing water resistance however after its first wash its miserable!! Water seeps in within minutes of rain exposure.

    Hope I am able to let members know what I am looking for.

    Please help with advice and suggestions

    Cheers

      Bah!

      Your first post and that too an Inquiry. Amazing Mate!

      I purchased few spray cans of Silicon Spray some time back and distributed in the xbhp group. I use the formulation for almost everything, from Shine, to water resistance ( On Visors and windshield of my car) to slight greasing.

      <y advice, go to the nearest hardware store and ask for Silicon Spray, alternatelively, may visit the people who work with Metal die manufacturers for Sheet metal and Pressure Die castings. They will be able to let you know where to get it from.

      Lastly, if nothing else works, Search out Greaves Foseco Distibutor in your area (where are you from???) and ask for Die Coat 606. I wonder if they have any quantity smaller than 20 Kgs, but if they have, dilute the stuff with 1:20 parts with water and spray using a hand/garden spray. If not able to find Greaves Foseco, try searching for Ajay Metachem, or Exoaid.

      If nothing else works, pm me and will send it across.


      all cheers

      P.S: A word of caution, Using silicon spray on Jacket will attract more dirt and grim. See if you are ready for it. Else, why dont you wear a Windcheater on your jacket. The safest bet.
