If I am posting in the wrong section, please move or delete the thread.
I just found this online and I wanted to ask, if anybody has ever worked with it?
Odif Odicoat (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NBW05OC/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AA6LJKZ1RRSSL)
It seems to be a gel for coating fabrics to make them waterproof.
Any experience, tips or hints for processing?
How long does it need to dry?
How many layers are needed to become waterproof?
Can it be used on any fabric? Cotton, denim,...
Can the fabric be washed afterwards?
What about ironing?
How is it in the sewing machine?
What about durability? Decreases quality really that fast after the "best before date"?
It is enough for how much fabric?
It sounds interesting, but I'm very sceptical ;)

Have you watched this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvHan-zuRzw)? It doesn't answer all of your questions I don't think, but certainly some of them.

It says "gives an oil cloth feel", so I think it would be like a plastic coating - just guessing here as I have not used it!

I bought some of this at last year's Festival of Quilts, but have not tried it yet. I got it from Empress Mills and according to their website, one coat will give a matt finish and two or more coats will give gloss finish.
I watched a demonstration of it being applied at the show and I think they said it would be touch dry in ~30 min.

It is now available at Cotton Patch. I haven't looked so don't know if they've got any information about it.

Thanks for your answers!!! Especially Marniesews for the youtube link, that really helps to answer general questions! :)
I have already so many ideas for this kind of coating.... :D
-
I've seen it being sold on Sewing Quarter shopping channel so there are bound to be reviews somewhere online.
I have no personal experience...but admit to being tempted... :[

That looks interesting..
