It's definitely not waterproof, so I give it a very liberal soaking of Scotchguard every year, which really does help. So, if you can't/don't find a waterproof one...

I go inside and look for all the pinholes in the roof then hit 'em with a spray can of Flex Seal. Works GREAT !!! Wollen nicht krank dein feind. Planen es.

Works great and stays flexible. https://www.sashco.com/products/lexel/ https://vcdl.org/

Another thought... MN requires blinds on public land to have 12 x 12 patch of orange on each face or a roof cap so do the flex seal and get that special; plastic paint so you don't have a flapping orange flag. Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

I also use it after I've patched a tear (Gorilla Tape for the win) to seal the edges of the patch. Just bought a can of Flex Seal at Wally-by- Golly tonight. Any leftovers get sprayed on the screen door that I'm making my boat out of. Wollen nicht krank dein feind. Planen es.
