    How long to soak the canvas for?

    Hello,


    I've just finished working through 'Ep. 4 Cutting The Canvas' and was wondering how long to soak them for in the lukewarm water before hanging them out to dry overnight?


    Thanks!

    Hi Heather,

    according to Rory's Youtube Video "The Making of a coat" he leaves it in there for an hour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CKJtJ5HYuA&list=PL6wdXAvg4DOEngOR93SkkVK8Tb0AvmwJv&index=4 , start at 2:30

    Thank you!

    I did come across that video. I hope it is the same for the chest canvas in the Dugdales pack as I believe he used a lighter one in that video.
