Fire Retardant for Ghillie Suits
 

Does anyone have a preferred brand or retailer that they suggest for spray on fire retardant for ghillie suits? Who actually uses the stuff on their ghillies?

I sell and service fire extinguishers and related products.
I have spry on fire retardant.
Meets requirements as a Class A fire retardant for fibers, lumber and wood materials. pre-mixed, easy to apply, non-toxic, nonallergenic, colourless, odourless (when dried), durable and UV stable. U.L. Classified. Works by slowing horizontal and vertical flame spread. Does not prevent charring, but treated items will not support ignition.

The general rule of thumb is that if the product to be treated can absorb water, Inspecta-Shield can be used. Apply a drop of water to the surface of the material to be treated. If the water does not bead up, the item can be treated with Inspecta-Shield. Contact the order desk for detailed information on specific products that can be covered.
It comes in a quart 1 gallon and 5 gallon price on request just PM me

Burlap is retarded flammable, great tinder. Seems the burlap I'd been buying form Rona and Canadian Tire is treated with something, I did some lit cigarette testing on the burlap itself and found that even a full 2 mins worth of having a lit cig (even drawing it to increase the temp) got nothing more than a discoloured mark on the burlap, so I think it might have been previoulsy treated with some type of flame retardant. Of course, as I said burlap is great tinder, so open flame lights it easily, but cooler burning ignition source doesn't at all, at least what I buy.

BTW, remember it's fire retardant, not fire proof. Kinda like NOMEX, generally it's fire retardant for about 3 seconds, after that you are fuc't.

good luck getting a ghille of in 3 seconds lol

There are some new synthetic fire retardant ones available through daves surplus. www.dstactical.com

"STOP, DROP & ROLL", the official dance of snipers. Lol

The spray I mentiond will make the material (any non waterproof material)unable to support ignition itll charblack but no hot coal or flame.

Thanks. How much would everyone suggest I would need for two ghillie suits?

1 quart should do but to be sure I'd get a gallon then you could re treat or do your BDU's and anything else.
note there is a special formula for live plants do not use the regular one on live plants unless you want dead plants
