Could this RAW linsead Oil be used for waterproofing the tent together with a beewax ??

I have never used the RAW Linseed oil for that. There are plenty of good waterproofing products available for use on canvas type products, that I have tried, work very well.

I would greatly caution doing that. Remember that rags or towels with linseed oil have high probability of spontaneous combustion if not properly cared for. I fear that when you fold/ roll the tent it could combust. Linseed oil dries through oxidation, and the process releases heat. The faster the oxidation, the more the greater the heat. A pile of rags or paper towels soaked with linseed oil can actually start burning without warning, leading to the manufacturer's warning that all oil-soaked rags should be stored under water in a covered, metal container, or washed before storage or disposal. Great idea in concept, but too risky to try. Get other products specific for tent waterproofing. I would greatly caution doing that.

Not likely. It works by not only coating the tent fabric but soaking in to the fabric a bit. I think it would ruin the leather on boots. I know that there are specially made waterproofing substances for leather though. Best of luck.

sure; why not? It's thick, though, and would need to be transferred to a spray bottle that could handle oil

By design I would say yes. However, in reality, the floor material is very thin at only 1200mm. Most tents have a floor with 2000mm - 5000mm that has a water resistant coating applied. In addition to being thin this floor does not appear to have the water resistant coating. For that reason if you were to buy this you would definitely want to purchase a/the footrprint otherwise you will probably end up wet.

I would not use this product for that. It does not fuse well enough to seal out moisture.

Pretty much.. Used it to protect our tent during a major downpour, we were nice and dry on the inside. Not sure what you are using this for?

Hello, Thank you for your interest. Yes the mesh screening as as shown in the pictures. Sorry we do not have anything that is waterproof and we cannot recommend a sealant. You can try 3M Scotch Guard, but we cannot claim that it will make the material waterproof. We also do not advise that you use these tents in the rain or during heavy winds - this may cause damage to the frame. These tents are not designed to be permanent structures. Thank you, Formosa Covers

I have not done that particularly, but I can't see why not, as long as you don't overdo it. I agree that using a base oil is best.

Ah, well this would be great to get the pure pollen out first if you did it dry... if you wanted to go through water, well water might not capture enough of the oils without heat... you really may want to use some type of alcohol extraction

Boiled linseed oil can be used to cover surfaces that will come into contact with food. Raw linseed should NEVER be used on something that will come into contact with food and consumed.

I would not recommend it for anything other than its intended use. There is petroleum jelly in it. Much more than the beeswax. (I stumbled on this product looking for beeswax for use in homemade skin care products.)

I don't see why not - its super tough, takes a bit to dry but it is set within 15 minutes, and completely cured in like 12 hours. I use it for everything honestly.

Hi, I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.

No. It is not waterproof. if you spill significant quantity of oil or liquid onto it then it will seep in your clothes

Only tested it once in the rain and seemed to work well. I have a tent that is several years old and was leaking in spots. Nikwax seemed to stop the leaks and seal the tent. Best answer I can give at this time.

The instructions say that it must be used in a dry area. After looking at the unit, I don't see how you could waterproof it as a home repair.

I believe so, my oil stain stayed over night the next day it was deeply penitrated, all the things that we got from Home Depot didn't work. I would give it a try or research it... it only cost $12.00 not too bad!!
