That was directed at the guy who chopped yours in BW, this one is the same as yours, just would like a rendering to look at for inspiration...
 
destin it is alil hard to get it (the canvak) uniform but it will not be as noticable after a few rains...i dont recommend brush as it sometimes smears the dye and then you have streaks and misscoloring blotches.

a few military jeepers use the brush to purposly streak the canvas to give it a more weathered (older) look...

smelly stuff isnt it :) it will go away in 5-7 days or so

So applied the canvak today on the installed top, used a spray bottle and tried to get it mostly even.
Seeing some blotchyness, maybe I should hit it again tomorrow with a brush?

Coolio

That`s what I did for years,
never sprayed the fluid direct on the top, never used a brush or a spoon
Used microfibre clothes ( soaked them with the impregnation fluid ) and apllied it on the top....
... best time for impregnation is a warm day and a place in the shadow... let dry it slowly in the shadow and than a day ot two in the garage.


With best regards
Peter


plthe dressing to your top.
