“So Effective It Even Waterproofs Tissue Paper”

Aurora Marine’s latest discovery, CANVAS SHIELD with DRYKON is a waterproofing spray that eliminates the dreaded leaks in boat top covers, dodgers, T Tops, sail covers which can prevent water damage, mold and stain damage. It’s easy and convenient to use, as there is no need to remove the canvas from your boat. Dealers earn extra profits by offering marine canvas waterproof service.

CANVAS SHIELD does not contain PTFE so it’s PFOA free, and non-toxic. What’s the big deal about PFOA? It has been found in the blood stream of over 98% of American men, women and children and according to EPA causes cancer of the pancreas, testicles and mammary glands.

It’s also been linked to miscarriages, thyroid problems, low birth weights and weakened immune systems. Now you can keep your boat covers waterproof without harming your health or the health of your family. DRYKON is a new nanoized polymer that does contain PTFE or PFOA.

How does it work? Simply spray CANVAS SHIELD onto your leaking marine canvas to stop the leaks. It penetrates deep into the fabric, to coat and protect each thread, rather than just residing on the surface. It continues to protect against leaking after the surface coating is worn away from washing, abrasion, and environmental degradation, so it lasts much longer. Even though water no longer beads on the surface, your marine canvas still remains waterproof when protected with CANVAS SHIELD.

Can your future boat tops or sail covers be made from tissue paper? Watch the demonstration video and you decide:

An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
