303 Aerospace protectant on sails?

Hey all,

Has anyone tried applying 303 Aerospace protectant to their Dacron sails? Would love to make them last longer here in sunny California...

I would advise against this

I know that the Aerospace 303 site says it can be used on dacron sails, but I would first talk to your sail maker for his/her take. Aerospace 303 is mostly design to be a UV blocker/water-repellent conditioner. Dacron is already pretty UV resistant.
