    wad it up and stick it under the faucet with your hand inside the wad. if it gets wet now, try the waterproofing. It might shed water already.

    try sail waterproofing

    I was talking to a friend this past week who was waterproofing a new sail for is boat. I didn't get the name, but it should work for tarps as well. He didn't spend much for it (I think his bottle was less then $20 and covered a sail probably twice the size of my winter tarp). You should be able to find it at a sailing/boat shop.
