: The biggest suprise was using latex paint. The wrinkles in the canvas
: virtually disappeared before my eyes. I was in the water for over an hour
: and not a drop inside.

I had the same situation with latex paint. I first wetted out the canvas with water. That got rid of most of the wrinkles. Then put 3 coats of latex paint on. The only drawback was I wasn't able to kill the weave. Hopefully you got that weave good and dead. There is deffinatly a drag factor there.
