New canvas

[Hilly77]

Swaggers just after some advice...

We recently purchased a new outback hawk and the manual states that I need to 'wet' the canvas prior to using it. So my question is is it as simple as that? Do I just hose it down and let it dry before closing it up? Should I repeat the process?

Sorry guys may be a stupid question but I am very new to this.

Thanks.

Gday Hilly.

Open it up and get the hose on to it and concentrate around the stitching too. Do that twice and let it dry well in between and jobs done

Thanks BD. I thought that would be it but was worried it could not be that simple

No probs and don't forget when you get her out

Hilly77 Welcome to MySwag , now set up the CT hose it as BD said . The cavvas will shrink a bit , seasoning as its known . Might take a few cycles to do , if it still leaks at the stiching go to a camping store & buy a stiching wax stick . That ort to do the job
