Canvas coatings and preservatives

Post by dr deuce »

I need to recoat the hatch-cover for the M32 machine gun mount on the cab of my closed cab CCKW. It is only about 3' in diameter, so I don't need too much and would like to use the best because I had to have it custom made for the hatch.

Recommendations?


Thanks
Steve
