Waxing is most useful on clothes, where the movement and rubbing on the layers beneath otherwise could transfer a lot of water through the fabric. On a good tightly woven cotton bag that is hanging quite still, the fabric only gets a bit moist on the inside. If something, waxing a bag should slow down the drying of things inside it considerably. If I had a canvas bag that leaked through, I would first try to only wax the top, maybe also the front, so it and things inside could dry out as good as possibly. That moisture easily can evaporate through the fabric is in my opinion the biggest advantage the traditional cotton duck bags have over synthetic ones.
