New tarp how to season the canvas
« on: December 26, 2012, 07:13:52 PM »
Bought a new swag today.
Want to season the canvas. Do i just put it in the bath and leave it there for a hour or so then set it up to dry and repeat??

Cheers chris.

Set it up and soak it and dry a coupla times.

Don't leave it set up in the backyard o'night though what with the 'minda' phenomenon you have up Ippy way.

Drying in the shade is best
