There should be some kind of shop in Sheffield that sells small tools and machinery. It's neutral water proofer and lubricant. I have used it on leather, canvas, and cotton. No problem.
CHEERS Vic.
However with prolonged exposure to water you would find that the canvas fibres would swell, in all likelyhood water would start to get in.
IMHO your best bet would be a waterproof nylon cover with sealed seams you can make one up quite easily

I use a Domke Sat700 with camera insert. It is very water resistant even without any treatment. I have used te bag in torrential rain in New York and India.
It's quite an old bag which belonged to my uncle, I just don't quite trust it in the rain

Try and find a shop that sells Silicon spray then spray and rub in at the same time. Try a machine shop like Cromwells if they still exist.

Thanks I think I'm going to try the camping shop for something that waterproof tents.

I'll email my son who owns a camping store and ask if he sells it.
You could try him yourself?
At the risk of being banned. Try www.thetentfactory.co.uk
I know I shouldn't advertise and I'm the first to point it out when rogue traders come on the site but I'm only trying to help out a fellow Pentaxian.
CHEERS Vic.
Typo error.
I'm now waiting for the name of the product and the cost of the smallest amount he sells.
CHEERS Vic.
