I am making a pack, and I'm trying to decide whether to use cordura or canvas. I have done the research on heat, cut, tear, and abrasion resistance, and I also know the strength to weight ratios. Has anyone experimented with trying to make cordura look like waxed canvas? how well will cordura absorb and retain or contain the wax? I'm tempted to use cordura for the weight savings but I really like the look of waxed canvas. Any thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
