Does Inspecta-Shield work on everything?
No. Inspecta-Shield only works on items that are absorbent or that will allow Inspecta-Shield silica’s to adhere to them. In other words, Inspecta-Shield can only treat items it can reach. An easy test is to apply a drop of water to the surface of the material. If the water does not bead up, the items can be treated with Inspecta-Shield. Because of its unique penetration formula, Inspecta-Shield is able to effectively retard lumber and many fabrics previously coated with a soil repellent.
