[MR] [HF] Canvas Tent Upkeep

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< About the only way to get old water seal out of canvas is to wash  
it in hot
water in the machine. This requires that pieces be small enough to fit  
the
machine, and it will leave a gummy film that has to be cleaned out  
immediately.
If you don't get the goo off the machine when it's still damp and  
pliable, it
will dry rock-hard and you'll never get it out without a chisel, until  
you run
another load of laundry. I do not recommend using a chisel on your  
washing
machine...or my mother's...or running a load of laundry with that gunk!

Is this some of the experience you got when things went awry? :-)

Thanks for the info.
