Has anyone had success re-waterproofing an old tent fly ?

You might be able to wash it in the techwash products used on ski gear.
Yes, used some proprietary product from a camping shop. Was only temporary though as the tent was many years old. A tarp over the top was the go to until I replaced the tent.

This tent is very old but its an awesome tent, I've contacted Macpac for a replacement fly coz they still make the tent all these years later but no response.
Maybe a temp fix will work for a couple of nites.

What you need to do in 2019 is the following:
- Start browsing Mapac on the web with facebook browser wide open. In fact actualyl serach macpad tents on facebook.
- Now also use the same approach to keywords like 'sustainability' ' product reuse' 'life time warranty' etc.
- This is the magic Facebook will figure out you want to buy a new sustaianbl etent from macpac and start targeting some ads for you.
- Find an ad that suits and post in the comments about you needing a replacement fly and how it's wasteful to bin old but still good products because of one little part.
- Generally they respond pretty quickly.
Made from? Canvas is easy. Ripstop or similar, time for a new tent

@Freediver not canvas, is ripstop, tent is all good just the fly that is cactus
@Calvin27 I'll give it a whirl I guess. Tent is a wee ripper bro that I want to keep so worth a shot. Gotta say I'm disappointed I never got a response from a company like Macpac.

actually speaking with someone is the last resort and is likely to set me years back in terms of therapy

I mean that in the hype generation...you wouldn't be publishing anything that wasn't lit. The place is gravity oriented, is your hardtail?
Another fly over the top works too. I did that with our old cabin tent.
