303 Fabric Protector - Bad Batch
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:22 am
Just an FYI if you use 303 Fabric Protector on your canvas convers etc. I do and have for years and never an issue. End of last summer I went to treat my bimini with a brand new bottle I had just bought, directly from their Amazon store. I spray the back half of the top, I have to move to the other side to finish and when I looked back at the section I had just treated it had a white residue all over it - on a black Sunbrella top! I tried to wipe it off, but no dice. Long and short is I called the 303 Folks (Golden Eagle) and they informed me there had been a bad batch and it could in fact leave this white residue. Said it should clean off with a detergent like Ivory Liquid or Dawn. They sent me out a new bottle. All that's fine, things happen -- my point is pay attention if you are using 303 Fabric Protector, test a small section. My top came clean, but it was not easy. I tested a small area with the new bottle and it works as expected.
