bought this product at a retail store to use on my boots and hat. Completely soaked my boots and hat with this stuff, used a whole can. It took 4 days to dry and still my feet would get wet in just a few minutes of just walking through wet grass, and my hat, forget it. It shedded water better without it. The water would bead before this stuff, and after I used it, the water would actually SOAK IN!
