MartinN Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 What's the best stuff to use to re-proof canvas. Some people suggested using Thompson water seal. What's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Granger's Fabsil and Mesowax - not sure either / both are still in production though. Granger's have a website. Fabsil is a kind of silicone soak and rot proofer, Mesowax goes on the outside to waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneck Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I used this on a 10 man Arctic tent to good effect, 2 coats and I still have half a 5l can left http://www.stormcare.co.uk/equipment/proof/canvas-waterproofer-5l.html It was recommended by several others on another forum.

Tony B Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Go to your local Saddler and buy a couple of tins of New Zealand Rug waterproofer for cotton rugs, or check out the Nixwax site. The other one was Thompson Waterseal but formula changed recently, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
