😂🤷‍♂️ it happens Thanks Todd Hope all is well

Thank you

😊 thanks Rob

Oh yah, that'll do it. Next one I'm going to cut with turpentine and melt in beeswax. 👍 Thanks for watching Mark

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors You ever made part two?

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors What do you finally think is the best combination? Mixing beewax with Linseed, Turpentine, parafine...

@@mlinaje on this large of scale, definitely the linseed oil

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors I'm thniking to apply it to pants. Same advice then for linseed oil + beewax? Thanks!

Thanks Chris I think I'm going to do another one in the future with a little more planning and higher quality canvas. Thanks for watching

Yes sir 👍 I use it on axe handles, knife handles and such as well. Thanks for Watching

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors 👍

Yah man 👍🏻

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors , when I get around to doing it, I'll make a video of it and post it on my channel so you can check it out and see if it's worth trying to do that way. Thanks for the great video.

Thank you sir👍 That's a great idea

Thanks Jamie I think its gone😊

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors I know that feeling. Oh well. Make another. :)

I'm glad 😊 Appreciate it

Thanks Reuben

Thanks Todd I appreciate it 👊

Thanks Frank There are many different ways of achieving this. I'm going to do a different technique next time Thanks for watching

Right on 👍🏻

👍

Thank you and me too👍

Thanks Josh, I plan on finishing it this winter sometime 😀

Thank you Mark Same to you

Thank you Mitchell

Great idea 👍🏻

Yes sir👍

Very good 👍 I've been wanting to try the sheet as well. Thanks for Watching

Thank you 😊

If you want a non flammable alternative, I heard that you can get some tubes of silicone (it has to be the type that cures out completely, not the other one) and that you can mix it with a certain amount of acetone to make it kind of liquid like. Then you take your desired fabric, put it in a container you don't mind sacrificing for the cause and add just enough of that liquid mixture to completely saturate it so you don't leave any excess and hang it up to cure. Or you could just hang it up somewhere and apply it with a brush to help avoid getting too much of the mixture in/on the fabric. If you are interested there was a video here on KZfaq showing you how to do that, but with bedsheets instead.

😊🤙thanks for Watching Good luck

It has very minimal odor now. I think once I wax it , it will probably have no odor. Thanks Jeremy

Right on 👍 I can't even remember how long I soaked. Is long as it's saturated I'm guessing. Thanks for Watching

Well I'm glad you did too😊 Hope you stick around and welcome aboard

I guess I really can't say which is better. Never messed with silicone mixture yet. Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for Watching

Yah, my wife says she can smell this one abit but my sense of smell isn't like it was . Not tacky though 🤷‍♂️ I'm going to try a different technique soon hopefully. Thanks for Watching Mark

Try beeswax or paraffin and mineral oil. Linseed oil is toxic. Some people use kerosene. You would probably have to leave it in the sun for a week.

Just goofing around 😊 Thanks for watching Doug

50/50 Several weeks Not sure Yes it would

On my list 😁👍🏻 Thank you 😊

Thanks Wayn, anxious to wax it now

Thank you 😊

Right on 👊🏻 Once dried it is stable. No more flammable than any other tarp as long as it's away from direct flame. I would recommend trying to find odorless spirits or turpentine if possible. Thanks for Watching

Bwahaha 😅😅

Lol!

Right on 👍 thank you 😊 No, once it cures out it's not oily at all. This one will be in a video soon🤞 Thanks for Watching

Thanks Yah , I did then dried it in the dryer so it would shrink tight.

Thank you 😊 It's probably no more flammable than any other tarp within reason I'd say.

Bwahaha 😄

Thanks Greg Just get some Rit dye from Walmart for cotton and follow instructions. Then you could go ahead and linseed oil treat it I'd imagine. Thanks for Watching

Once cured it's not a problem Thanks for Watching

Suppose it depends on how much wear and tear you put it through. I don't believe it would be corrosive beings as linseed oil is used to protect things. Thanks for Watching

Not really sure. It was a fun project but I'll probably do silicone next time

Thanks for watching

Thank you 👍🏻

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors sure thing,great stuff!!

I would say go for it 👍🏻 I bet that would work great

Right on 👍 Not sure about the polycotton Worth a shot 👌 Thanks for Watching

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors oil cloth pouches and wax oil cloth pouches done today, pleased with the results so far. Also wax oiled my hand made haversack, very very happy with that. I'll maybe put a video up, haven't uploaded for a long time. Thanks again, stay safe 🙏

I think 2 linseed to 1 spirits. I would probably try the odorless turpentine like painters use perhaps though next time. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors thanks alot man, I really appreciate the feedback!!

For sure man. I plan on doing another one with just wax. Thanks for Watching

Thanks 😊 As long as it's not in direct contact as with almost any shelter, yes. Just use caution

Good idea 👍 Thanks for Watching

As long as it's not in direct flame. Probably no more flammable than any other tarp. Definitely let it cure outside hanging for a few weeks. Thanks for Watching

Yes , but there will always be a slight odor. I store mine outside

Very a little odor now. I don't think there will be any once I wax it Thanks for watching

😊👍thanks for Watching

That's an interesting idea

Always kept it in the garage so I really can't say I guess 🤷 Didn't really notice a smell but my nose doesn't smell like it used to

Right on 👍 Should be OK as long as they are stored in a cool place and not in direct sunlight. I'd let hang and cure for at least 2 weeks. Thanks for Watching

I'd say cure time might depend on the temperature (and potentially the humidity as well). If its say 90 degrees F versus 60,then it'd potentially cure out faster. I'd just make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight while it's curing if I could,just as a safety precaution so it's doesn't spontaneously go POOF!!! and burst into a giant ball of flame.

This technique and material wouldn't probably last long in extended weather exposure. I would probably invest in commercial grade oilskin tarps. Expensive at first but they last decades. The tarp I made I primarily use as ground cloth. It can be used for shelter as well though . I hope to do another video in the future of a heavier duty style. Thanks for Watching

Yes, but store out of the sun and in a cool place same as with most anything you want to last. Thanks for Watching

I would say water resistant more than anything

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors ok thank you

Only to direct flame like anything I suppose 🤷‍♂️

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors ok that’s good

So far so good 👍🏻 Thanks for Watching

Once it is cured out and the oils solidify, its not very flammable anymore. Mind you though, if exposed to direct flame it most definitely is. Definitely more flame retardant though than synthetic materials. I've yet to finish this project 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for Watching

I let it hang for a couple of weeks

Life Happens 😂😔 Still planning on it 🤷‍♂️ It does just fine next to a fire Thanks for Watching

@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors yep i know it well, lots of people say they are quite flamable.

@@munchh2007 I'm sure they are if exposed to direct flame but as far as a stray ember popping I don't think would be much of a problem I guess.

Great question Actually once cured out it is flame and spark retardant. Will work great for ground cloth and or warm bedroll bag. I still plan on using beeswax to further water proof it. Thanks for Watching

Mainly sustainability. The cloth and oil can rot down when past usefulness. The plastic never will, and requires fossil fuels to manufacture. You can also re-oil the oilcloth. The linseed-oil cloth can fertilise the next generation of flax plants if you want it to. Having said that, some 'boiled' linseed oil contains heavy metal driers to make it cure faster (it's not actually 'boiled') so that's not great in your soil. It is possible to get real 'boiled' linseed oil, known as 'stand oil'. This has been heated in a sealed vessel to about 300 degrees C for a number of hours. This part-polymerises the oil, so it will cure faster. It makes the best quality paints, too.

I never did on this one. Just let it cure naturally. Hoping to do another one soon. Thanks for Watching

Just medium or permanent press for 50 minutes I think. Good luck 👍

Thank you 😊

😄 no I haven't. Need to though Thanks for reminding me 👍

Yes sir 👍🏻 Thanks for Watching

I would do 2 parts blo to 1 part spirits

I probably wouldn't rely on it for a boat skin but it'll keep the rain off. Waxed would be better for odorless.

Thanks for Watching

Only to direct flame just like anything else really 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for Watching

Thanks for answering my question love the videos

@@_-Eric right on 👍

I would recommend 2parts linseed oil to 1 part mineral spirits. Thanks for Watching

Thanks Man 😊👊

🥴 it happens Like I said, linseed oil you gotta be careful with. Glad you're ok

Anything I could have done different to prevent this?

@mardinoetling7871 well, not sure where you live but if those trash cans were in the sun they get ridiculously hot🤷‍♂️

This is just what the old timers used to use. Yes, there are many different recipes out there you could try. Just Google waterproofing canvas and I'm sure you'll find something maybe even better. Thanks for Watching

So far so good 👍🏻 I'll be testing it more soon hopefully Thanks for Watching

Awesome thank you very interested in the wax process

No 😔 I tried once and the footage was bad. Then life happened. Actually hoping to do a new tarp this winter 👍🏻

Glad you found Time to comment 😀 Thanks ✋

😁👍

You can use as is. I'm actually thinking of buying another and just do wax finish and compare the two if I get time. Thanks for Watching ✌

Shouldve read the warning labels…not to mention he tells you at 4:30 to make sure its a well ventilated garage.

What an intelligent fella you are

Good job Gary.

Boiled linseed oil mixed with mineral spirits

🤣 go for it
