I have some friends who just made a tent-like structure for
semi-permanent use; they used Thompson's Water Seal (the stuff made for
sealing wooden decks, etc.). They said it worked great, although it may
alter the colour of you muslin (making it a shade or two of yellow/brown
darker), and advised treating the fabric a good chunk of time before you
need it--the smell lingers, and the fabric greatly benefits from a long
airing-out.

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!
