Tips for applying CANVAK?

I rather like that smell.

In an effort to get a few more seasons out of my very tired soft top, I plan to treat it with Canvak as suggested below. The inside has mildew stains and I plan to remove the cover, wash it to remove the stains, repair a small tear and reinstall it to dry on the frame. Then, after it dries, I'll apply the stinky stuff....does it work to prolong the life of the tops?

I brushed on a good quality canvas tent waterproofer, great result
came in a 4 liter and used maybe half of it
I did mine with it spread on the driveway mid morning, put it back over the frame that afternoon and properly refitted the next day
