Canvas treatment

What is a good canvas treatment/sealant to use on pop up trailers?

    I wouldn't use Canvak on a trailer. It does work great on canvas tents.


    I don't see why not, if it's real canvas. Canvas is canvas as long as it's made of cotton. Helps control mold and mildew too.

    I would contact the manufacturer before applying any sealant.

  • West Marine All Fabric Waterproofing. Comes in a gallon. Use with a small pressurized sprayer.

  • I've had a couple of convertibles with real canvas tops, and the 303 fabric guard was by far the best treatment I used on them. Seemed to last longer than any other, and didn't affect the way the fabric looked at all. Beware of waterproofing treatments that have silicone in them.
