Getting larger waterproofing (6)

I believe the answer is:

waxing

This clue is a double definition.

'getting larger' is the first definition.

'waterproofing' is the second definition.
(as in making something waterproof with wax)

(Another definition for waxing that I've seen is " (Of moon) increasing".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
