This worked exactly as I wanted it to. The finish is beautiful. I deliberately selected an inappropriate material to reupholster my dining chairs, because the fabric was beautiful and that’s how I roll, and by using this finish on top, it turned into an appropriate material. I can’t remember how many coats I applied, but I know I did several. The chair seats are holding up extremely well, even when the cat gets on them.

I had reservations about this project, but if I wanted to avoid covering these fabric seats with big towels every time our grandchildren came over, I needed to do something to protect the seats from staining.I found the HeatNBond on Amazon and bought a couple of jars to try. I first tested it on the under-side edge of a seat, allowing it to dry thoroughly. I then put some drop of red hot sauce on it and let it sit for a minute. I touched it then with a paper towel and all of the sauce was absorbed in the towel leaving no residue or stain.Next I applied one coat to one of the seats and allowed it to dry thoroughly. The fabric initially looked darker, but by the next day it was fine if only very slightly darker than it was originally.Eventually I coated all of the seats with 3 coats and they look great! They have a slightly rougher surface than before but I’m thrilled that I’m protecting our investment!I kept an extra jar so I can do touch ups if need be later.

We are refurbishing a bookmobile and needed something to protect the fabric panels. Tried iron-on and adhesive backed vinyls, they just peeled off the fabric. I got one container of this and applied 2 coats to the smallest panel. After final ironing with a parchment paper protecting the fabric, it has a nice smooth finish (felt rough after each coat) and is totally water repellent. So far, it has held up well, enhances the colors of the upholstery fabric (fairly smooth cotton canvas) and doesn't show. I highly recommend this for fabric, might have other uses, also. Test on something small first or a sample to determine how many coats are necessary and if you get the finish you want.

UPDATE: I believe I was adding very thick layers of this and it may be easier to sew through with correct layering. I'll attempt again and update.I made a waterproof dog collar with this and it was HORRIBLE to machine sew. It said it would work, so I decided to waterproof my fabric loops before sewing my box stitches. It was absolutely awful!!! Took 6 hours to do 3 box stitches. It is a great waterproofing agent though and does the job right. I'm hopeful I can try this again with an already made collar.

I did 3 yards of fabric before cutting out my bag. Easy to apply, use foam or throw away brush. Setting with iron makes fabric smooth and still pliable. Love it. Ordered a second jar. Great for the new fabric tennis shoes people are making. Great product.

The media could not be loaded. After 2 layers, drying and ironing between each round, it looks to work really well. I posted a video here and the water just glides down and does not absorb into the fabric and the other (untreated) side remained dry as well.I just used parchment paper on each side (do not iron directly on fabric). It looked wrinkled after the first application, but after it dries and you iron it out (between parchment papers) it straightened out really well.My video shows the latex-type stretch, or dried kids glue texture on the edges. What it's made of exactly I'm unsure, but it works.It has a slight, almost perfume, chemical scent but nothing too potent.*I would NOT use for handmade snack bags/edibles.*I think it's meant for keeping fabric waterproof for outerwear, I'm using them for the inner lining of cosmetic bags.

I bought this after reading about using it to waterproof fabric to make resuable snack bags. I probably should have thought of this ahead of time, but I put it on the 'wrong' side of the fabric and it definitely soaked through to the 'right' side of the fabric, so the outside my pouches looks kind of splotchy. My son said his snacks taste weird. I won't be using it for this application, but I imagine it could be good for others.
