Your directions say to apply to fabric while "still damp". I plan to use this on a tent that was an expensive one, but that has not been used in 8 yrs. Does it mean I should WASH the tent... hose the tent, wipe off the tent, or spray with a bottle of water first? Please explain.

Hey Gloria, you should definitely hose down the tent to make sure the surface is clean of any particulate matter that might interfere with the Nikwax bonding to the tent. After 8 years in storage there's probably a bunch of dust and dirt on the tent fabric (unless you're like my mom and your closet is cleaner than an O.R.).
