Why Should You Season Canvas?
Seasoning canvas is essential to main-
taining canvas quality and waterproof-
ness. You season canvas using natural
elements. As canvas is made from the
natural product of cotton, it reacts to
natural elements such as wet and dry
conditions. The aim of seasoning is to
swell the canvas to completely close
any small gaps that could let water in,
then drying it pulls all the canvas back
together and ensures it is completely
waterproof.
Heat – It will relax, expand, and go soft
Cold – It will stiffen, harden, and shrink
Wet – It will expand
Dry – It will pull tight
If the canvas becomes dirty, clean with
cold water and a brush – do not use
any soaps or detergent.
