    Most of the companies that sell bushcraft gear have excellent after sales service. Give them a call and explain the problem. I'm sure they will replace it.

    Also if it is damp and blackened, and hasn't been advertised as such, it is the sellers responsibility to pay for the return postage, whether he replaces it, or just refunds the original purchase and postage costs.

    Like Chubbs says though, most bushcraft stores have great service these days, so it's worth contacting them and explaining the issue. Worth checking before you try to reproof it, as you don;t want to waste Fabsil if you don;t have to

    not all companies, this company still owe me money (Paypal complaint open). I just decided to wash it out, reproof and keep it, less hassle, I won't buy from them again!

    That's not good business.

    Who did you buy it from.

    UQ Tri-Plate (£9.00)




    UKHammocks Winter Full Length Under Quilt (+100g overfill) (£140 used)

    There is a sale on quilts on the 21st at UKH but I decided getting this second hand was still a good deal since as delivery was included plus there would likely be a backlog and longer waiting list during the sale.
