is there any way to refresh old canvas?

Probably not, if the colour is faded.

You can do a clean with a soft brush and cold water, and then a reproof with the right product. That's quite a job and if it's not leaking I wouldn't try.

Keep any harsh chemicals away from it.

Hi Ash

There is a product on the market and it does a fantastic job. It is called Leatherique and can be used on a number of items including canvas and is available in a range of colours. When you paint it on, it is like water and not tick like paint and goes a long way.

My dad had an issue just like you, badly faded canvas, but still in very good condition on his camper. You paint it on with a paintbrush, as per the instructions.

Once dried, your canvas will look like new, totally waterproof and best of all, it does not dry hard, but the canvas will be soft and supple.


Cheers
