I have sucessfully used Selleys tile and glass sealant thinned with white spirits, I only used the white spirits because I had some of the stuff on hand and had no further use for it, it is more expensive than mineral turpentine and as far as I can tell they are equally effective apart from the lingering smell of turps.... phew!. I just kept on adding the WS to a container of silicon until I obtained a saturated solution and painted it onto the outside surface of PU polyester. It has worked very effectively for a couple of years so far. As someone else said earlier it seems not to be a permanent fix but will allow you to get a few extra uses out of a favorite bit of gear.
