Fabsil works for a limited time. I bought a can at a camping store.

Hi Rockhopper! Get along to Northrops & get some holmenkol
seal & glide. Makes the kite super slippery - I did my
Vareo kite & it really sheds water after. It seems a bit
pricey, but I reckon you'll be able to do a Vareo kite 3
times with the size of the bottle. Good stuff - I
recommend it!

Edit:Ooops - miscalculated. Forgot you need to do the kite both sides! But 3 times it is!
