I was delighted when non-shrink guylines were introduced and the only way I'd ever use sisal ones again is if I was doing a re-enactment of some sort. Why not use modern ones?

Not sure I have returned to this to late for you, but I have recently found out about a product on the market that is an updated version of Mezowax, the oldies of us will remeber this product, wax and sticky,. However this new version leaves not residue and can be used on any colour canvas. What's even better it is designed for canvas and is half the price of Fabsil, winner! Supose ou want to know about it now, Storm canvas proof.

Hope that helps

WARNING.. apparently Thompsons water seal is now water based and does not do the job......just found this out after spending whole sunday afternoon (the only dry day with a day either side forecast since we washed it with "Storm tent cleaner" ) coating the roof with Thompsons....

No idea if we have done irrepairable damage or if we go over it with the storm waterproofer it will be ok. Why oh why is this stuff so expensive?

Very p****ed off....have been reading these dam forums and thats where I heard about using Thompsons....but ofcourse since then the formula has changed......any advice appreciated. Its dam hard to find definative advice about what to do with a 2nd hand canvas tent, think I will need to open a web site on the subject!
