Could I wax the canvas
Its not one I have heard of. The modern Thompsons weathershield does not say it can be used on canvas as the old formulae did, how ever I have used it on an old canvas tarpaulin and it adds a noticeable weight to the canvas and leaves a very waxy coat that turns milky in wet weather (same as original Thompsons).
My thoughts on using wax is that it would fully waterproof the fibres stopping them from absorbing moisture also in the end detergent would break down the wax.
Now you also know why campers get so upset with the idiots playing with bubbles by tents and awnings
