[TheForge] off topic, canvas sealing

Their is a product available to waterproof cloth available locally at Hikers
Haven (Ontario).  You  first wash the item to waterproof in the laundry then
run it threw a second time with the waterproofer.  I am planning to do this
with a canvas coat I am sewing for use at the Pioneer Village I work at.

At the same place and also at TSC you will find waterproofer(no such word
8^))
Also try tent rental companies.

Subject: [TheForge] off topic, canvas sealing

My canvas tent which I use at faire had become soiled after 4 years of use
and
abuse, so I took it to a car wash and hosed it down.  Now it leaks with the
slightest of rains.  Any suggestion on cleaning the canvas and then
resealing
it?  It is natural in color, but has considerable stains which take away
from its
appearance.   Thanks,

Larry
