Also since it requires a certain pressure before it penetrates the fabric, could it be tuned and turned into some kind of pressure switch or flow restriction with other uses besides waterproofing?

Mmm Magic

For the price Silicone + solvent is the cheapest and seems to be easy to go to weather proof outdoor gear or on sails ⛵️ The parafin wax costs more than silicone and the exact solvent is also costly, this is the better eco-friendly option. I still need to learn how do your botton technique (as I think a Hogwarts robe is something I desire) The water proofing cardboard has so much information it was great but it was more expensive, shellac is x3 - x4 the price of a silicone tube out of the bulk hardware stores and that's only 1 component Thank you for your videos. I was unable to find more info on cardboard furniture construction. I think I have enough to make the stool.

Have you seen siloxane? The channel Get hands dirty, used it to waterproof the wood in some outdoor planters as an eco-friendly method that is also easy to apply by just spraying+letting dry+re-applying. I've searched for it in Costa Rica with little luck, but it's supposed to be used for waterproofing concrete, so that moss doesn't grow on it, so I've always want it to try it on waterproofing rope to be used on suspension bridges for tree houses, and I see no reason why it should not work for your channel for textiles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlQQf9PEUdQ
