Use of "the Mix"

I have been trying out "The Mix" for waterproofing wood. I am 2 coats in to a prescribed 3 coats to waterproof a piece of 3/4 plywood.
And it definitely works, 2 coats on and dry and water really beads up instead of soaking in.
But makes we wonder...if I build a foamie and use "The Mix" to waterproof the floor. Won't that make it more difficult to canvas? When I go to wrap the canvas underneath, the fact that it is waterproof seems like it would interfere with the 50/50 TB2/water to stick to the wood?

I'm not a PMF guy, but just tape off the part that you want to leave bare.

I have applied the "mix" to my floor as well. I planned to use gripper to adhere the canvas to this surface.
Due to inability to source gripper after visiting a number of HD big box stores during our recent vacation to Utah different plans were needed. I applied the mix to some scrap ply wood and let it dry. I glued a strip of canvas with TB2. After it dried, I could not rip it off.
Admittedly, I only put one coat of "mix" on but it seems to have no affect on bonding. I would suggest you try gluing a bit of fabric somewhere on your varnished floor to test it out. Based on my experiment, it should work fine.

Thanks, Tom...
I will do a test as well and see what I get.
Appreciate!
