For this experiment I used another spray that is meant to make leather and suede water resistant. I used it on denim, cotton (printed and calico with machine embroidery on), felt i made and a synthetic fabric with a heat press design on. I used fabrics with added features, embroidery and heat press, to see if it would affect the outcome. Here is what happened...
All the materials became water resistant, so this spray works on more than just leather and suede. The synthetic fabric was the most water resistant, but I think that is beacause it was the most resistant when I tested them without being sprayed. The resistance of the felt suprised me the most, massive globules of water collected and sat on the surface for over twenty minutes without being absorbed.
Although this experiment worked out really well for my project, I realised that I do not want to use a technology for water resistance that has already been created and manufactured. Even though I have used it in a way that was not meant for it, it's still not my own enough.
