Cordura
Anyone have a good waterproofing idea for Cordur? The reinforced patched on my Singlewall tents stake loops wick a ton of water into the inside of the tent.
I'm thinking soaking them with Campdry or some Nixwax spray product.

I'd try that and I'd coat the seam where the loops hit the tent with seam sealer.

I've had success using Aquaseal polycoat. It's water based. Just soak the offending wicking stake loops, let dry, problem solved. Your other proposed solutions seem viable as well but I can't vouch for the effectiveness of the products.

Thanks Rosey, will give it a try.

The seams are sealed, but these pads are like 3in.X 3in. Unreal how fast and how much water got wicked into my tent.
