Silicone Water-Guard made by Atsko/Sno-Seal Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

Silicone Water-Guard made by Atsko/Sno-Seal is the best choice for the vast majority of water repellent applications. Use on shoes, boots, hats, and all outwear for sports, hunting/fishing, and outdoor work. For tents, covers, tarps, flags, artificial flowers, umbrellas, gazebos, outdoor furniture, wood, concrete, stone ,walls, decks ,fences,  chimneys, and docks.  The shoe enthusiasts of Whom You Know tried this, and rave:

Praying and thanking the shoe gods is a daily ritual. Prada, Gucci and Jimmy Choo line my closets. As fall approaches, my suede shoes and boots are becoming more and more popular for my feet. In the past I would never even think of wearing any suede shoes or boots if there was a even a slight chance of snow or rain. Why take the chance? Now I do not even have to think twice about the forecast. Atsko has the most guardian angel of water-guard for your shoes. With just one treatment you can brave the winter elements without fear. It even resists salt stains…can you believe it. And don’t stop at just your shoes, it is great for fleece jackets and soft brushed leathers. Praise the heavens, I mean Atsko, for their incredible product.  

Being someone who's almost neurotic about avoiding the rain, due not so much to my fear of water as it is to the damage that the rain causes to my clothes, shoes, handbags, etc., it's no surprise that I've looked high and low for ways to protect these items.  Atsko's Silicone Water-Guard is my latest and greatest defense against damage wrought by rain, moisture and the occasional accidental spill.  This nifty product, which comes in a spray can form, is easy to use and requires just 1 coat.  It's a heavy-duty water repellant with polymers that form a cross-link that better protects against water.  I've used this on my leather and suede shoes and handbags, and in the rain, the water beads up on the surface rather than get absorbed into the material.  This spray is supposed to work great on most fabrics too, in addition to a number of items that get alot of weather exposure, i.e., tents, tarps, flags, umbrellas, wood, concrete, decks, fences, chimneys, so it's really all-purpose.  Spraying a test spot is recommended in case of color change, though I haven't had a problem with any of my colored items changing color.  After application, there's a 24 hour drying ("curing") period before the item is ready for use.  No scents or odors are left behind.  An additional plus is this product doesn't contain any CFC's that deplete the ozone layer, so we can feel better about using this on all the items we have that need protection from water and moisture.  I, for one, certainly feel better now about stepping out in the rain knowing my shoes and handbags are well-protected.  

Looking for an excellent way to protect your shoes or clothes? You need to run out and buy Silicone Water-Guard. I have a good amount of suede and I've been on the hunt for a great way to protect them. The best part is that this is great also on nylon. The winter season is almost here and with that being said you need to get your shoes and coats ready for the rain, sleet and snow. I took a few of my coats and shoes outside and sprayed away. Just my luck to have this product around because the next day it was a full day of rain. Silicone Water-Guard did what it said it does and it nicely protected my belongings. My coat was repelling the water and so were my shoes - I was dry as can be! Run out and buy yourself Silicone Water-Guard and stay dry! 

Fall is in the air and cozy knits and fur-trimmed coats are calling my name.  Also on my list are suede UGGS and over the knee leather boots.  I love boots, but I hate what rainy weather and – heaven forbid – snow, salt and dirt from NYC streets do to my lovely boots.  Silicon Water Guard by SNO Seal is the one thing I can count on to keep my boots looking beautiful and sexy all winter long.  This heavy duty water repellent protects my boots from the elements and keeps them looking new!  It can also be used on nylon, cotton canvas and all other fabrics so it’s pretty versatile.  It works better and lasts longer than any other brand I’ve tried. Plus, only one application is needed, so I can pretty much spray and go!  I highly recommend Silicon Water Guard by SNO Seal.  It will keep your boots looking great for many seasons.  It is great for a busy girl like me who is always on the go!  

 
The greenest product in the world is a waste of time, money, and resources if it does not do the job. So first and foremost Silicone Water-Guard offers the best possible performance. It is as concentrated as can be without risking discoloration. It is unsurpassed for effectiveness in a single application, scoring a 100 on ASTM water spray test #D-1913 on Nylon, Polyester, and Cotton. If color change is not an issue or for 24/7 outdoor exposure a second application can make it last even longer. To further extend its versatility to lighter applications on white or light colors, Silicone Water-Guard can be sprayed onto a cloth and then applied by wiping to achieve thin, uniform, and highly breathable protection with less risk of color change.

After initial effectiveness, consider durability. The water spray test is about 1 minute of exposure. It will get you from the car to the door. At Atsko, they repeat this test 50 times without stopping. 50 minutes will outlast most passing showers. Detergent removes Silicone Water-Guard but it will still bead water after many drenchings. 

What’s in the can? A proprietary blend of catalyzing silicone resins in a mild carrier.   The 10.5 oz can is all product except for 1/3 oz of propellant. Their competitors use over 3 oz of highly flammable Propane Isobutene propellant, so you get 3 oz less of usable product. Their propellant contributes 33 times as much carbon to the atmosphere.

Save time, money and resources by using Silicone Water-Guard to do the job right. It will preserve, restore, and protect 100’s of times its value in clothing, footwear, and outdoor fabrics and surfaces. Silicone Water-Guard is stocked in Sporting Goods Departments at Wal-Mart and other fine stores. Gallons are available at Atsko.com or by calling 1-800-845-2728.

Atsko Inc of Orangeburg, SC makes a broad range of products to care for clothing and footwear including Permanent Water-Guard for frequently washed items like hunters camo and winter jackets. It is guaranteed to still bead water after 25 washings in Sport-Wash residue free detergent.
