Greetings from Atlanta, Ga.  Do not use Thompson's waterproofing (which CAN
be used on canvas, is sold at Home Depot) unless you protect all
surrounding surfaces from it--it stinks, takes a long time for it to not
smell terrible, hydrocarbon fumes are awful until they evaporate....  Good
luck!  Ask REI for whatever they recommend.  Regards, Christy and Mike
Nichols  '81  7 pass
