To ward off the hordes of bugs on my hammock and tarp this weekend, I sprayed both with 29% DEET spray.
Big mistake!
The hammock body seems fine, but when I sprayed the little tarp on my Hennessy the spray globed up into sticky drops. I just washed it off and noticed the waterproof coating appears to be coming off. It is only happening where the spray formed big sticky drops.
I wish I had read this thread earlier. Do not use DEET on nylon fabrics.
