Yes, you heard it right, I have a 100ml bottle of Holmenkol Seal n glide! :D Looking for $60 shipped anywhere in the Continental US. Selling at cost,
you save international shipping!
This is no longer available in small bottles in the US. I bought it from the UK from sailboats.co.uk and had a friend bring it over to the US. A
company called Trade Secret repackages it from larger bottles of Holmenkol. Haven't used it yet and no plans to do so in the near future since the
fabric on my kites is still nice and crispy. Bring old kites back to life with the best product out there. Tried and proven by many kiters.
Includes:
Base: 100ml
Activator: 25ml
Detailed instructions with pictures.
This will cover 50-80m2 according to the instructions.

Here are a few links with info:
I am partial to this one 
Basically: Did 2 kites. Brighter colors, keeps foil
inflated longer, flies great, sand didn't stick, brought limp old kite back to crispy.

And another one for devils advocate:
Basically: felt heavier in bag (this seems too subjective), launched slower (trees around / external factors)

According to instructions only 3% of the product stays on the kite, the rest evaporates so if I do 4 kites with 125ml, that would mean a weight gain
of: < 1 gram. A Speed 3 Deluxe 15m weighs 3,200 grams kite+bridle+mixer (no bar/lines). I highly doubt post#2 can feel the weight gain on the kite
even if he applied 4 times more product.

sounds like water is used as a carrier, i think theres another dilution in there process.
on a deluxe FS fabric is super thin and light, not sure about additional weight either.
seems like a decent restorative product , may give it try on an old venom bag of kite.

Yes, the 125ml is dilluted in 2L of water for kites, then applied with a sponge with no dripping / excess liquid, just moisten kite. Water & 97%
of product evaporates.
For main sails (sailing) the product is dilluted in 1L of water for a stronger coat.
It is recommended only to mix what you are using immediately. If you are doing two sides (like a foil kite), mix enough for one side, let dry, then
mix for other side and apply / let dry.
