Question about wax ontop of oilskin fabric

Hello all,

I am currently in the process of designing a tent to be made with some kind of waterproofed canvas, but I am unsure which method specifically to use for waterproofing the fabric. I plan to make the canvas into an oilskin or oilcloth material with linseed oil, but I am also curious about waxing the canvas. Would it be possible, do you think, for me to wax the fabric after applying the oil and allowing it to dry/solidify? Also, how long should I wait before waxing the oilskin, in order to ensure that it won't still be wet when the wax is applied?

Thanks!

Does anyone else's dream locations involve the Source Engine?

A strange pattern that I noticed recently is that every time I have a dream involving a strange or "liminal" location, I realize later that many of the physical aspects of the dream's location have to do with Source Engine games such as Garry's Mod. For example, textures/patterns on walls and floors, sounds, and even entire rooms, buildings, or settings are often directly taken from Garry's Mod maps. Does anyone else experience this?
