Default Raggtopp

Got my Raggtopp roof protectant through & did roof on Sunday.

On the advice of the suppliers, I went for the Vinyl version this time.

I have to say, it seems merely to be a thicker, non-aresole version of the canvas protectant, with less solvents.

It is white and looks horrible when one first applies it (having used the cleanser first).

It has now dried down to a slightly silky, smooth appearance (just like the other).

It seems to bring out the 'weave' in the roof and makes it look 'furrier' - sort of less synthetic.

It also wipes off the paint quite easily.

Once dry, it doesn't run off.

If anyone wants to try some:

er, i thought the idea of 303 was that it was a waterproofing treatment, so why would rain be a problem?

303 is first and foremost a UV protectant ...

SO predictable... I nearly put in my original post for the HT lot to keep quiet if they had nothing useful to say
