I just sprayed it Tues night. We are expecting rain Wed morning and then snow in the afternoon. Will the rain wash this product away?

Depends on how much rain you get. Ideally it recommends spraying the area shortly before a snow/ice storm. If the rain isn't too heavy, it should help somewhat.

depends on how much rain, I have found it hangs around even after light rain, however why not spray again to be sure

This repellent needs to penetrate the ground so if the ground is frozen, it won't have any effect until the thaw. I'd wait until spring.

No. I applied the spray around the exterior foundation of my home last Fall and plan to apply it again this April. I think the killer spray did help to keep ants and roaches out of my house this past winter. Once the product dries, rain has no effect.

I live in the south so I don't know about snow. I used this product for the first time this year as a barrier around a 12"x12" garden. I reapply after a heavy rain or about every 3 weeks. I live in an area with significant deer and so far my summer and winter garden appear protected.

You're directed to apply it twice a day, several hours apart. For me its before work and before bed (with ample time to let it dry). Also, spraying more frequently won't help you!

I agree with Rollin's answer, but would offer an alternative to consider. First, whatever you do, try a test on a tiny section somewhere. Second, instead of mineral spirits I would just spray it with some Dawn (which is a degreaser) and OxyClean solution in a spray bottle. And wipe clean, and let dry overnight. Any water will simply evaporate. Minwax has its own oils which will sink in, don't need to precede them with anything else that will sink in, in my opinion. And give it plenty of time to dry between coats, and do the 0000 steel wool bit as needed, to create a very smooth finish, if that's what you want. But there is a lot to be said for just applying two thin coats, and skipping the steel wool entirely, letting the Minwax (its polyurethane and oils) do its job. Good luck!

I know all about those rains as I am in Prescott.I suppose it depends on where it went but what I do is use Spectracide (Triazicide insect killer) spray in the spring, maybe two times 6 weeks apart and spread the granules around in the fall as it is systemic. After a year or so everything looks great. The winter moisture is MUCH lower and the stuff sinks in. I think I would wait till no rain and then apply. ( non professional opinion )

We occasionally shake the snow blower to ensure there is no build up of snow. I don't know if coating the snow chute with WD40 would help or not. Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer.

Yes. The key behind using this, is to spray it on and forget it. Let the rain rinse it off over time.

I applied it twice in one week and cannot remember if it rained. It worked great in those applications. I would reapply if they do not go away.

I used this on a pair of suede boots. So far it's lasted one winter and I'll spray them again before this winter begins. You should reapply according to use and what you're trying to waterproof. Be sure to use in a well ventilated place. Hope this helps.

I think it was listed as "water repellent" and I've had it out in the rain and nothing soaked through but I think I will probably give it a good spray of Scotchgard before next winter just to be safe.

No, for the reasons listed in the other replies. I apply the product in the fall and allow the winter rains to break it down and it's fully absorbed by spring.

I used my item in the summer rain and it held out good. It was still working when I put it away in November. I would cover it with plastic(a bag) if you plan on using it in the snow,...just to be safe.

It is not waterproof. We sprayed our top with waterproof spray but it did not work. It keeps the rain off of you for awhile and then leaks and drips in a few spots.

Hi Bob. Can't tell you about winter use. To be honest I found the product no better than most dash or rubber protective sprays.
