Spots in canvas tent

Are these anything to worry about! New tent, spots don't leak, but looks like something's not right, 2 small spots:





Both can be seen here a little bit back:

Probably just discoloration in the cloth.
It's not mold and not leaking,so I wouldn't be concerned.

Looks like bleach marks. Probably a fault in the dye process at the manufacturer.

Is that anything to worry about, will it effect the canvas at all? Are those maybe going to be weak spots that might rip or anything?

I would send the pics to the manufacturer and see what they say.

I was hoping to, but the Kodiak Canvas website appears to not have any contact info, even the Facebook link is to the wrong place. I'll have to find an email address or phone number later.

Edit: Site must have been having issues yesterday, the contact us on the website works now.

We have a few spots on our tent as well. Thus far all we have noticed i that it is a cosmetic imperfection. Since we were going backpacking in some gnarly places, we did not care much about the spots. Don't worry, they are just imperfections!

From Kodiak Canvas:

Just spray them with Kiwi camp dry on both sides saturating the spots and they should go away.

Yeah they don't seem like too much of a problem. The camp dry is probably a good idea though (just in case).
Here's a link for it under 10 bucks if you need it http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...LOGVOZ4EGSNY7K

Re: Spots in canvas tent

I've got the same spots on my tent. They don't leak. Just random spots of lighter color.
