RJ,the term 'wetting out' refers to the surface tension generated on things like plastic etc,have you ever noticed what happens when you try to apply acrylic paint sometimes to plastic ? it sort of disperses because of the surface tension on the plastic,a wetting agent is something that gets rid of the tension prior to painting,you may have got away with it on your canopy but it can present a problem sometimes.
