Hi Jamie
Canadian Tire carries waterproofing stuff in the camping section.As I recall there is some for Nylon and another for Canvas. I used the canvas stuff afew years ago for the walls of a tent trailer and it worked fine .
I've been thinking about the nylon waterproofing but have'nt tried it.
Just a thought.. Don't know if it would be H2o proof, but at least resistant!!
Regards Terry
