KrisFlyZ 0 #2 September 15, 2011 Quote Is it ok? I did a search.... Yup, first you post a pic at work then you scotch guard and then you jump it . yes, Scott Bland used to swear by it. Scotch Guarding that is. I have done it. Just forgot about it....will do it for the new ones when they get here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIRDDOCTOR 0 #3 September 15, 2011 I scotch guard all my suits. I let a friend jump my phantom2 once and he slightly turfed it (of course) and amazingly the scotch guard worked. I did get a beer out of the deal though:)Base# 1638 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arvoitus 1 #5 September 15, 2011 QuoteAlways. Use the red can. Which one? This one or this one? Or are they the same product but labelled differently for different markets?Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #6 September 15, 2011 Never seen the one you linked from Amazon. the other can is what I use, I get it at Costco in 3 can bundles. It's also available at Home Depot or walmart. The Upholstery stuff is almost the same, but it is more fine or something. A wingsuit student explained it, he works for 3M. The only thing I noticed is the upholstery stuff is easier to get too thick, and it turns white. Red stuff, takes a lot to get it thick/white. Cheaper, too.

Electronaut 0 #7 September 21, 2011 Thanks for the Home Depot hint. Picked up a can, took about a half a can to do one pass (front, back and inside) on my suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnskydiver688 0 #8 September 21, 2011 I ended up using most of the can for the outside of the suit. I did run into some white residue in a couple of spots. I tried to do many light coats to avoid it, but I also did more coats in "high wear" areas. Now time will tell if my application was good.Sky Canyon Wingsuiters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisFlyZ 0 #9 September 21, 2011 Quote I also did more coats in "high wear" areas. Don't land on the "high wear" areas . I did on some forbidden landings on no wind days...and there are some dust stains in the "high wear" areas.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnskydiver688 0 #10 September 22, 2011 Ha... No I was referring to how dirty the suit can get from sitting in the airplane, packing without a packing mat, around the grippers, the trailing edge of the leg wing... I pride myself on not landing on "high wear areas" Sky Canyon Wingsuiters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpsalot-2 2 #11 September 22, 2011 What is the purpose of Scotch Guarding a wingsuit ? Is equally effective on the different materials ( balloon, etc. ) ?Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martini 0 #12 September 22, 2011 Scotchguard is OK if you don't mind the look of plaid wingsuits. Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
