I was there, but don't recommend Scotchguard.  I make canvas tilts, &
used to use a water based breathable product called Camp Kote that
only comes in 8 oz spray bottles now. It is clear, does not yellow
your canvas or make it brittle over time like Scotchguard which has
silicone in it.
Go to a camping supply store & try & get a water based product if you
can. It lasts for awhile & can be resprayed at any time.

Good luck.
