Pete,
I have no first hand experience with this, but I found a web site that might be worth looking at. This info was taken from the link below.
Waterproofing Canvas
Mix 3 cups soybean oil (available from grocery or health food store) with 1 1/2 cups turpentine. Paint on and let dry. Reapply after a year or two of hard use or outdoor exposure.
This is great for tents, awnings and camping equipment.
I do not know if it would cause any side effects like discoloring, smell, etc.
Best Wishes
Lonnie
