Listers;

Does any one know if there is anything that can be done to canvas that is
getting old to keep its elasticity. I have a canvas top for my m211 cargo
bed that can be ripped by grabbing it in two places and pulling by hand. Is
there anything that can be done now to prevent this? Maybe, it needs to be
hydrated, washed, or treated? In the future when I purchase a new one, is
there anyway to prolong the life of the canvas? Any treatments?
