After you've pitched, your probally letting something touch the side of the tent,
When you do it breaks the waterproof seal even if it is two layers,
A common mistake with tent owners.
If you still think you need the spray you looking for Nik Wax spray, all good outdoor shops sell it for about €25.
Best of luck
