Hi,

I have an old Speer winter tarp from at least 2009 and it has been amazing! I have spent many nights in my hammock under this tarp . I never even seam sealed it and never got wet even after a few days of heavy rain..

I finally sealed this tarp today and am hoping it will be good for a while.. I noticed this past summer after a bit of heavy rain that the tarp fabric had begun to soak up water noticeably in certain spots though I did stay dry.. Does silnylon break down after a while? Is there a way to re-waterproof it?

I’m a little bit worried since I will be heading to the big Island of Hawaii next week and it is the rainy season there and it rains everyday..

Thanks!
