Setting Colors in Fabric
The colors of fabrics or other materials of any kind may be set by boiling the articles in the following solution: To 1 gal. of soft water add 1 oz. of ox gall. This solution should be boiling when the articles dropped into it. A chemical reaction results and the colors are set or made nonfading. The process is harmless. Colors in wood may be treated in the same manner. 1915, The Boy Mechanic.

@Zachary Reynolds what project are you planning? I have not heard of this before and am interested to see what you produce!

@Zachary Reynolds very cool. I am also interested in this as a project for a little Scouts group I help out with from time to time. Does it fade after a little while or is it pretty much set? Did you order the canvas from Amazon or a hobby store?
