Good idea, I think I'll give that a go... Do you think a few coats of Fabsil would be enough to proof it?
I think that would depend on the weave of the cloth. So far as I can tell, Fabsil puts a hydrophobic finish on the fibres, but if the fibres aren't sufficiently tightly woven, it isn't necessarily going to stop water getting through. (To take it to the extreme, you could weave a net from cotton string and soak it in Fabsil to prevent the fibres from saturating, but it won't turn the net into a water bucket.)
