AS one who uses vintage cotton canvas all the time, indeed I have a version of the same tent; I would do as Ewen suggests initially, and if not satisfactory, I have had great success with a spray of Fabsil through a garden sprayer.
Although I take on board what Ewen has said, I must admit I've never had a problem in the longer term. I only do it if not waterproof and find a spray lasts several years.....
(In the case of the Explorer, do not spray the inner tent in any case, as it's not designed to be waterproof or used without the fly)
