Been sitting on this idea for months. Somehow wanted to line/cover the bottom of a canvas bag so it is more rugged/waterproof. Wanted to use some kind of truckbed/rhinoliner/herculiner or similar. Truth is it works for impact resistance on flat surfaces but cracks when flexed. See my test material below. Not suitable for this application. [so you're posting about stuff you haven't done now?? -ed.] At the last minute I held off... Not even going the waxed cotton route. Keeping as is. Close one...

Add Japan dryer to help dry.
Paint on area that was coated with the sizing.

Recipe from the 1800's and works perfect.
@tom just found this book "the amercia frugal housewife" that is jammed w/ all kind of crazy recipes/tips that require limestone/saltpeter/linseed etc.
I spy Highlife in foreground of top pic.
I'd do a simple Scotch Guard spray.
