I was wondering if anyone knew it Duck cloth is water resistant. trying to figure out what it is. It says its a canvas made of 100% cotton which i know it a big no no lol but i aways thought canvas was water resistant?
anyone know?
Assuming by "duck cloth" you mean "marine duck" yep, good 13 oz. marine duck is tight enough to make water bags. It is also very good pack fabric, though a little on the weighty side. The yarns in duck are packed tightly together. You cannot see daylight through it. Sometimes terms such as 'dry treated' are applied to marine duck. That's good, too.
