[Regia-NA] water-proofing canvas

[J. Kim Siddorn]

Yes. DON'T!!!

We had this conversation here quite recently and if the cloth is fairly
tight-woven, it will swell with rainwater and keep the rain out. I have
experience of treating a previously fairly waterproof tent which promptly
became a sieve!

My advice - try it first untreated.

Regards,
