hi
i just got a driazabone rain coat and their great mate, originaly the idea 
came from sailors who used old sails as rain coats and wind protectors, 
tracking down old methods used by sailors might be of help

Hi everyone, i have read with great attention what had been said about 
waterproofing canvas using natural products (oil, beeswax and pine sap). I am 
currently experimenting with this recipe too on a heavy flax canvas. I wanted 
to hear from people (and especially Yaya since she started the topic) who 
tried the recipe to get some feedback. How did it work? How can you make sure 
it will stand the sun and not melt (as i saw it happen)? Which are the 
proportions that you used? thanks, oswaldo
