How much solvent protector would you use on these?

This is going to cover like a lead balloon but...
If you use Releasit it has some soileze in it.

I wouldn't use any solvent protector. I would Maxim's fine fabric protector.

The manufacturer recommendations should guide you, but with the products I've tested, I'd look at 24 ounces per piece, the bottom one representing about the same as "two pieces", so 48 ounces total on that one.

That will create a great deal of fumes, and potential health and fire hazards. I would make sure you have a great deal of ventilation, respiratory protection, and the customer out of the house.

Nevada customers should remain out of the house until the odor dissipates, California customers a week, and only after a dozen governmental agencies and a Wiccan priestess guarantees that the home is free of all toxins real and imagined.

I used Harvard's CR10 which is extremly pleasant to be around.

I guess I over applied.....

Whatever they say Mike. I haven't much experience with their product.

Will the flojet pump handle a solvent protector?

 

[Old Coastie]

I use a hand sprayer and a soft bristle brush to spread the droplets (and groom as I go).

How much? Enough to leave the surface damp looking. Also I try to ventilate to the outside, on the assumption that the VOC is heavier than air.

I gallon covers 4-6 sofas.

You bet..

Never an issue for years and years

Are you still an authorized Fiber ProTector applicator?

Solvent based protectors are necessary for some fibers that bleed and can be damaged by water. These fibers looked like they would respond well with water based protectors like Advanced Protector with Teflon and definitely with Maxim Advanced for Upholstery unless I am missing something. From the new solvent raws that I have seen approved by the EPA, the day is soon coming that you will avoid solvent based protectors like the plague, except for problematic fabrics that Jim Pemberton can quickly enumerate.

The maximum advanced for upholstery has dye-loc to prevent bleeding. It is also slightly acidic and won't cause browning. I am using it on linen with great results. I apply with an electric airless sprayer. Just be careful not to over wet. 2 light coats are better than 1 heavy coat. I will never use a solvent protector again.

I'm currently using the Harvard stuff as well just private labeled by a local shop. it does well but for the life of me I can't see how anyone can cover that much surface with less than 1/2 gal.

I used to love complete seal but they got weird requiring that you become a dealer and stock 10k worth of the stuff so bye bye....

Cobb's solvent protector is good also but none of the above approach the effectiveness of the complete seal .
