Tell that to the guys at Hiroshima Danboru.
They make waterproof cardboard, they don't make cardboard waterproof.
(hint--it's a lot easier when you do it while you're making the
cardboard than it is to add it on afterwards)

Afterwards it is either curtain coated or wax dipped, but neither is
easily done by a homeowner. Seafood containers use was dipped.
boatbuilding epoxy will soak into cardboard surfaces well,but getting the
edges or corrugations sealed is another matter.
I guess that would be "water-resistant"....
try System Three,West System,or RAKA epoxies.
I use RAKA.
