That wonderful smell is canvas waterproofing/preservative. Several years ago
I found some at a commercial tent supply shop. It came in a gallon plastic
jug. I'm not sure but I believe the name was Canvac or something similar. As
soon as I started brushing it on the old tent it was like I was back in
Basic Training!!!

Subject: [MV] That "Army Smell"
I was just folding up our deuce's canvas cargo cover, and my family
remarked I had that "army smell" all over me. Anybody know what
that stuff is? Hazardous? I suspect it is a water repellant;
some sun-bleached areas on cover could use another coat....is it
sold aftermarket?
