[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 2623875, member: 8429"] I know I'm a little late chiming in here, but here is what I can tell you: We have two wall tents. One is 10 oz duck and one is 12 oz. In fact, I just got back from my 2nd weekend of Wood Badge with the big one. What makes them water repellent is actually being wet. The fibers swell when they are wet, and if the fabric is under tension, shed water. When you treat them, it is much harder for the fibers to get wet, and after several foldings, they leak. The fibers can't swell and hold out the water. Anyway, not yet knowing that in the beginning, I went out and bought myself a big painter's tarp from Home Depot to make a front porch fly. After performing tests with the garden hose (it didn't hold water) I tried a ton of sealant. Also unsuccessful. My two cents? If you want a canvas baker set up, buy a quality duck canvas tarp, unless you are happy with a blue tarp! [/QUOTE]
