Canvas water buckets
« on: September 26, 2023, 10:39:17 AM »
Do they need any special care or treatment. Spent a little time on line and didn’t find anything. Would be ashamed to have it just break down because of neglect.

I treat my shelter halves with Canvak to restore their water repellency.  Should be fine for canvas water buckets as well...although there's a warning that it's harmful or fatal if swallowed.

If you're going to drink water out of it for some reason, consider Ultra Durable Canvas Waterproofing instead:
