Hello -
A few weeks ago I posted a message requesting information on the sorts of material an East Texas homeowner might have used to "wrap" his porch for a party in the 1840s. I received some good advice off-list and now have another very specific question.
Does anyone have any suggestions for waterproofing large quantities of unbleached muslin? Wax, bear grease, Scotch Guard??
Advice welcome - Thank you!
