Looking to purchase a used-but not beat canvas for my t22 or would take suggestions on best way to replace. Mine is falling apart.

If the canvas isn't torn but the stitching is bad find a local upholsterer and have it re-sown. I bought the Velcro on line and had them redone
at the same time for about $100 then I recoated the fabric with water repellent and it is good as new.

canvas is fine. stiching is falling apart..

I used some 302? something from west marine to waterproof last year it was expensive and worked ok. Do you have any recommendtions for cleaner/ waterproofing.

thanks

Sorry for the delay, I used my old hand held Dirt Devil with the brush to vacuum the canvas after sweeping it with a broom and then applied West Marine all fabric Waterproofing with PTEF "Marine Formula" I just put it in a paint tray and used a smooth nap 9inch roller on a broom handle while it was snug on the boat and made sure that it was completely wet. Once it dried it has been like new. I have a video that I can send of it during out last rain. Yah, it was a little expensive but if I can put off buying a new cover for a few more years until I get a bigger boat that's all I care about. It also keeps the canvas from braking down any further in the sun in San Diego 300 plus days inland.

I was worried about getting that stuff on the boat. I did use it but probably need to do a better job cleaning the canvas first. I used a sprayer it did help. Ill go get someone to re stitch the cover. Thanks ! I appreciate the answer.

I just remember that I used a small 6inch roller to put the waterproofing on. It was easy to control and maybe took two hours to go around the whole cover. I didn't have any
leak through but to make sure I removed it the next day when it was dry and cleaned the upholstery.

I picked up a manual pump spray bottle. It has about a 3 foot extension with adjustable tip. I use it to spray 303 on cover while its on boat. I do it 1-2 year. No problems.

I use 303 annually. I used a gallon last year (A20 cover), but will probably buy 2 gallons and use a gallon and a half this year. I clean the cover well, then water proof. Our boat has to be outside all the time so I have to treat at least annually.
