I'd be willing to bet the reason that it is no longer supposed to be used on
canvas is because it is not flame retardant. Many years ago it became
illegal to make tents out of flammable material or to use flammable
treatments on tentage. Since then, many products have gone away because of
that requirement.
Canvak is the only treatment I know of that is ok for canvas used in tents.

Hi Joe The last time someone asked that I said I was told Thompson would
work but then I had a email back that said the formula had changed and would
no longer work on canvas but when I looked at a can in the local Home Depot
it said it would work on canvas.(last 6 month) I am from south Ga and we
don't get the Grand Old Opera till Tue so it may have been old stock but
check the label first.Who know what you might find. Wayne
