Thanks for sharing this information here. I am shopping a lot online these days and luckily nothing is disappointing me. I bought mesh cut out leggings and tees recently and I have never seen such an amazing material of clothes purchased online.

I shop a lot at Lowes. Bought 10oz Cotton Canvas Tarp for Haversacks, Oil Cloth and ditty bags. Then boiled linseed oil and turpentine and bee's wax from toilet wax rings...empty paint cans, brushes.... 60 bucks in waterproofing... it's been fun making this stuff.

Applied this old fashioned treatment to one of my ditty bags last night as a trial and error. So far looks just like the ones on YouTube!

Watched a lady make a oil cloth using a iron to melt the wax in. The heat guns are a hot item but wanted to try and use some older methods... I am a farb!

Ha. I have a lot of bought stuff as well. Just sometimes I like to make it too.

My oil cloth treatment is getting less tackie as the days go by. 1st month was tacky but it was winter. My seconds article I put the oil cloth mixture on has dried considerably faster. Still tacky. Will give it another month and see. I have a bedroll to waterproof and a 9x9 diamond canvas tarp.

Sewing on those guy out points was bloody. That stitching awl was vampire kin.

Good stuff.
