or ,,, if you want to use the correct stuff, get 5 litres of FABSIL
from most good outdoor activity suppliers, spray on.

Or if you want an easier option, a 5 litre can of Thompson's waterseal
from Wick's, Jewson's or wherever is cheapest at the time and slop it
all over. It also waterproofs olive drab very well turning it into a
darker olive not-so-drab!. Works well, canvas stays flexible, *much*
cheaper than 'Fabsil' which is the bees bits for this job. If you read
the Thompson's application guides for waterproofing, it lists brick,
wood, concrete *and* textiles ... good stuff.
