Members JuanBernard Posted June 30, 2021 Members Report Posted June 30, 2021 Good day everyone. Does anyone know a good supplier of waxed canvas. I am from South Africa so anywhere in the world will be fine. Juan Quote

Members zuludog Posted June 30, 2021 Members Report Posted June 30, 2021 I'm not sure if this supplier sells waxed canvas, but they sell lots of fabric for outdoor clothing & equipment, mainly synthetic, plus buckles, and other accessories that might be useful I have bought from them a few times, and they are reliable, pleasant, and helpful. They are based in Britain, but as you've said, that might not be a problem for you https://www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk Quote
MikeRock Posted June 30, 2021 Report Posted June 30, 2021 https://www.bigduckcanvas.com/waxed-canvas/ All Leather/Waxed Canvas Cotton Duck, Brown - 10 oz – District Leather Supply_files/waxed-canvas-brown-10-oz try to copy/paste this and find District Leather's site. I went back to look at District Leather and it looks like they dropped waxed canvas. They had good stuff. Check sailmakers shops in SA. God bless Quote

Members Tigweldor Posted Wednesday at 04:00 PM Members Report Posted Wednesday at 04:00 PM (edited) You got that one right. A real simple recipe is : mix a cartridge of silicone with about a gallon of white gasoline in a tub (that smells less than pump gas) - drop your canvas in the fluid and knead it thoroughly so all parts get covered/are wet - hang up to drip dry over the tub. The smell is completely gone after a few days. I have used this on my old army ponchos and Parkas with success - on latter take out the zip-in lining first. The result is extremely water repellent - and does not develop that rancid smell of old waxed canvas - like my old Belstaff MC jackets do - I was forced to keep them in the garage by my girlfriend cause of the smell. If you make a slightly thicker mixture of silicone and gasoline - you can paste it over seams with a brush to waterproof them - works 100% - take my word for it. I use that on the seams of my leather chaps - on the inside of the chaps, that is. Edited Wednesday at 04:13 PM by Tigweldor Quote
