<P>It's my (mis?)understanding that you can either flameproof or waterproof canvas, but not both. Seems to be mutually exclusive.<BR><BR>On manręden, </P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Yes. DON'T!!!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>We had this conversation here quite recently and if the cloth is fairly
<DIV></DIV>>tight-woven, it will swell with rainwater and keep the rain out. I have
<DIV></DIV>>experience of treating a previously fairly waterproof tent which promptly
<DIV></DIV>>became a sieve!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>My advice - try it first untreated.
